If unsanforized then yep - soak them. They can lose inches in size, you'll also remove some of the starch from the denim.
I've got jeans which I've soaked and ones I haven't, just depends. Bit of salt and vinegar can help with indigo dye staining other clothes in the early parts of new jeans.

@Tenderloin what's the best protocol with 501xx should I soak initially or anything?
Edit: Dont want shrink so just foing to wear them from new.
Levis shrink more than most. It's advisable to have kept them on in a cool soak, make sure they form to you.
If they're bought to your size stay well away from soaking.
