shoe polish method

Are they a matt or shiny in colour? I would spray them with furniture polish, Pledge or Mr Sheen and then wipe them over with a dry cloth. This will remove any excess black polish you have on them and may on its own give the required result.

Eventually, however you will need to use some black polish. If they are matt I'd use black polish from a tin, something like Kiwi. Apply and remove with brushes and finish off with a cloth.

If shiny use Clarks Shoe Magic but instead of using the applicator put the polish on a rag and apply sparingly around the shoe. Let them dry for about 30 mins and then polish the shoe with a cleanish cotton rag. If you don't let them dry you may get polish on your trousers but will be ok if you let the polish dry.
If the leather is cracked, I would condition well before polishing.
