/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Ok kind of an embarrassing question. I recently got my first pair of AP OTKs, the stretchy metrial kind. I am terrified of wearing them because the material seems like my feet will sweat in them and then the OTKs will become all gross. So..

1) how do I prevent sweating and ruining and discoloration of lolita socks/ tights and

2) how do I clean them afterwards? My regular tights always shrink and get a crappy texture after machine washing.

This is the reason I always avoided the new kinds of brand OTKs and all tights.. its much easier to clean the socks.
