The term "Patent Shoon" translates simply as "Patent Leather Shoes", or "Wearing Patent Leather Shoes". Robert Service uses the phrase in the poem "The Ballad Of Basphemous Bill". In the poem he is listing all the various ways, places and cercumstances Bill might die in "In cabin or dance-hall camp or dive mucklucks or patent shoon".
