The keys to the values has to 'customer', 'size', 'style' and 'color'
NSArray *shoeOrder = @[@"Charles Smith",@9.5,@"loafer",@"brown"];
NSString *customer = [shoeOrder objectAtIndex:0];
NSNumber *size = [shoeOrder objectAtIndex:1];
NSString *style = [shoeOrder objectAtIndex:2];
NSString *color = [shoeOrder objectAtIndex:3];
NSMutableDictionary *shoeOrderDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"customer",@"size",@"style",@"color",nil];

So you got the shoeOrder array correct. All this Challenge is asking you to do from there is to create a new instance of NSMutableDictionary called shoeOrderDict ...
NSMutableDictionary *shoeOrderDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
... and then assign the appropriate key — from the keys provided — to the corresponding value from the shoeOrder array, like this:
shoeOrderDict[@"customer"] = [shoeOrder objectAtIndex: 0];
shoeOrderDict[@"size"] = [shoeOrder objectAtIndex: 1];
shoeOrderDict[@"style"] = [shoeOrder objectAtIndex: 2];
shoeOrderDict[@"color"] = [shoeOrder objectAtIndex: 3];
