But I'm not sure how to spit shine these things without getting the polish in all the holes and such. Let alone polish them to a high gloss like my other dress shoes.

Ideas??

After years of tiringly digging polish out of my fingernails, I gave up the fight and have a shoe shine pro do them. I know - I'm getting lazy.
