Shinola was an old brand of shoe polish last century. If a person was very stupid, he would polish his shoes with shit and not know the difference.
You can hear the phrase used in the movie “ the jerk”. With Steve Martin.

For many, especially in the Southern US, it means the person referenced is an ignoramus . That is, if the person had their shoes shined. they could easily be fooled by the shine man who could just as well put shit on their shoes as shoe polish
you know shit from shinola you stupid person.
