The spelling of the word "shue" can be somewhat confusing due to the pronunciation of the word. The correct spelling is actually "shoe" /ʃuː/, with the silent "e" at the end indicating a long "u" sound. The "sh" sound is represented by the IPA symbol /ʃ/. While "shue" may seem like a plausible spelling, it is important to remember that sometimes our perceptions of how words are spelled don't necessarily match up with reality.
