The best way would be to leave them overnight in a bucket of pi$$DT_Xtremez_14:.
However, not many people are keen on that method so try sticking them in a bath/bucket full of water overnight and allow to dry naturally (stuff them full of newspapers whilst drying).
As for getting them shiney, spit and polish is the best method.
DO NOT PI$$ IN YOUR BOOTS OR PUT THEM TO SOAK IN WATER
Doing so will wet the cardboard insoles, and wreck them before you've even started.
Just get them on your feet as much as possible, get plenty of polish on them (left on overnight if you can) and only use the socks you've been issued and they WILL get more comfortable.
