Next you will wring the socks out one time making sure they are still very wet, but not dripping wet. Put the socks on your feet and put your feet in you leather shoes. Walk around in them for 3 to 4 hours. Check to see if they have stretched to your liking by taking off the socks and wearing the shoes with just your pantyhose or dress socks. If they haven't repeat the technique one more time for another 3 hours and that should do it.
I learned this technique years ago when I worked at a very well-known shoe store while I was in college and I must say it works perfectly without distorting the shape and the leather.

Different manufacturers use different cushioning systems but usually there will be an 'EVA' foam mid-sole, supplemented by one or more of air, gel or soft neoprene-like rubber. There have been no unbiased scientific studies to show that one cushioning system is better than another so the key is to try them all and then decide which feels the most natural and comfortable.Much of the 'feel' of a running shoe will come from the cushioning and this is therefore a very personal choice that only you can make.
