How one moves in soft shoes? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shuffles

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'how one moves' is the definition.
'shuffles' can be an answer for 'moves' (shuffle is a kind of move). I'm not sure about the 'how one' bit.

'soft shoes?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'soft' could be 'sh' and 'sh' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for shuffles that I've seen is " Mixes up playing cards before dealing".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
