Best way to wear Doc Martens in?

I've worn docs for most of my life but my last pair lasted 8 years (still going but wanted an upgrade) so I've got a new pair to wear in. It's been a while since I did that...

In the past I've tried stuffing with newspaper upside down on a radiator, wearing them a little bit each day, wearing with socks, wearing around the apartment, massage the leather...

I've heard mink oil is good - where does one find that?! Also leather conditioner... how does it work?
