Being ex forces there are lots of different ways using cloths and various brushes, using spit and poslish and even setting fire to the poilsh first, as the guy above mentioned this is refered to as bulling.
But unless you want the tip of your show looking like a mirror thats all too much for a normal pair of shoes. All you need are 2 brushes one to apply and the other to polish.
Good tip is to put the polish on at night and leave it to soak in over night and polish off in the morning.... gives it time for the polish to dry (as wet polish is hard to buff) and soak into the shoes.

then a last Buff up with a Cloth if needed...Kronologic said:
That was how my Dad tought me to do it!!!... (though for best results light the polish in the tin and quickly click the lid closed to extinguish it... Makes the polish easier to apply!!!...)
In my Shoe Polishing kit I have:
2x Black brushes for Black polish,
2x Brown brushes for Brown polish,
1x Buffing Cloth for Black Shoes (from a Large lint free roll from Halfords),
1x Buffing Cloth for Brown Shoes (from the same Large lint free roll from Halfords),
Various Tint (Blacks, Greys, Browns, Reds etc...) Leather Touch-up pens,
1x Suade Brush,
1x tin of Black Turtle polish,
1x tin of Brown turtle polish.
and I mostly ware Canvas Baseball boots/trainers, and my wife mostly wares Suade shoes/boots... (though we do both have some nice dress shoes!!)
but its better to be over stocked with equipment than not to have any and not get the job cos your shoes were scruffy!!...

oh.
I've never used a brush to polish shoes.
On with a brush and off with another brush. Don't stick the two brushes together, keep them apart. Then for a really good shine, get yourself a pair of womens tights (15 denier) and give them a rub over with those. Luverly jubberly 
Try leaving the polish on the shoes overnight and then buffing them in the morning, followed by some hot tights action for a great shine

Easiest way is to put the polish on with a brush and then use an old pair of tights to bring your shoes to a shine in no time at all, almost no effort involved and takes next to no time.
