Error-Object of class could not be converted to string

[eluser]Tanvir[/eluser]
I am new to codeigniter.I have the following files

controller/products/shoes.php And views/products/shoesview.html

This is the controller class shoes.php -

Code:

<?php
class Shoes extends CI_Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
    $$this->load->view('products/shoesview');
    }
}
?>

The view file-shoesview.html is a simple html file.
Now if i try this as url - ..localhost/codeigniter/index.php/products/shoes
I get the following error-
A PHP Error was encountered
