Lolita shoes care - help needed
I had my btssb rocking horses and antaina tea parties for years. 1,5 y ago I moved to a new place and both, after like 3 wears, started to disintegrate. I also had pu leather boots, cheap taobao brand, wore them multiple times before, and after a few wears here, the soles cracked in half.
The main difference is that I moved to the place with less humidity and higher average temperature by ~2-4 degrees Celsius and slightly harder water. After wearing them, I wash them after each wear (warm water + occasionally dish soap if very dirty) and make sure they're wiped dry before putting them into the closet. Antaina ones I had for 10 years, so it wouldn't be a surprise that they gave up, but it's weird that all 3 pairs broke at the same time. I have 2 other pairs of lolita shoes (another antaina and nameless ones), and they're in mint condition, but I haven't worn them outside yet.
Do you have any tips on how to prevent it? How do you care for your pu shoes, using protective sprays/oils, washing them with demineralised water, storing them in a specific way?
I'd also like to know if it's possible to fix the cracks on rocking horses because losing them would hurt the most T-T
