Toothpaste cleans teeth with mild abrasives, antibiotics, and bleaching agents. The fluoride is there to make your teeth stronger. All of these useful compounds are suspended in a gel-like substance to make them easily applied to your teeth.
Shoe polish, on the other hand, is just a bunch of waxes, oils, dyes and water. I doubt it would clean your teeth. So no, I don't see a connection between the active ingredients in toothpaste and those in shoe polish.
