I would say no! They shouldn't be soaked. I never soak mine as the vendor STRONGLY advised not to. $250+ for a synthetic best believe I will be listening to the guy who's job is selling these.

I forget where I read, heard or saw this quote but I liked it. "Buy from someone who's as passionate as your are but knows more." - amen.
