Tendon and fetlock boot recommendations?

I have some leather and elastic tendon boots which look lovely but are unreally stiff so dont get used. Ive tried oiling and conditioning repeatedly. Leaving them done up tightly in the boot box. Riding in them a little at home etc. But the blinking things wont soften! They rubbed my mare slightly when I was trying to 'bed them in' so they've gone away on a shelf where i can admire their leather and sheepskin lined beauty without using them :(. I cant remember what make they are but I know it was a decent one. So my advice for leather boots is feel at them in RL before buying :).
