Hi,
As far as I am concerned, in your context (to make shoes smooth and bright by polishing) only shined should

be used:

He should have shined his shoes properly.

Generally speaking, in that sense, shined can be used as the past tense and past participle of shine.

In the sense of "polish until bright or reflective", 'shined' is the only possible preterite and past participle.
He should have shined his shoes properly.
In other senses, 'shone' and 'shined' are both possible as preterite and past participle.
The powerful lighthouse lamp shined (or shone) through the fog.
