Care

Leather shoe care

Leather is best maintained with gentle, regular care. Wipe the surface with a soft dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and light marks. For tougher spots, use a quality leather cleaner and finish with a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft. Clean gently and avoid scrubbing too hard.

Suede and nubuck shoe care

Suede and nubuck need a softer approach to protect the texture. Use a suede brush or a clean towel to remove surface dirt, brushing in the same direction as the material. For small scuffs, use a suede rubber or a clean pencil eraser and work gently over the area. If stains remain, apply a high quality waterless foam cleaner to a cloth and clean carefully using small movements, then let the shoes dry naturally at room temperature.

Avoid direct heat, heaters, hairdryers, and direct sunlight.

Things You May Be Wondering

What is the sole and insole thickness?

The outsole is 6mm thick and made from natural rubber, with a reinforced heel section to resist wear and help you enjoy your shoes for longer. A removable 5mm insole adds everyday comfort.

Where is Maximinima from?

Maximinima is a Melbourne-based brand, created to reimagine everyday sneakers through barefoot design. Our first collection, Axis, introduces sneakers designed in Australia.

What materials are Maximinima Barefoot Sneakers made from?

Maximinima barefoot sneakers are crafted from premium leather, including smooth and pebbled full-grain leather, nubuck, and suede, depending on the colourway, chosen to create depth, durability, and a refined finish.

How should barefoot sneakers feel on foot?

Maximinima sneakers are designed to move with you, not control you. When footwear follows the natural shape of the foot, comfort feels effortless. Your toes have space to spread, your stride feels unrestricted, and movement becomes more intuitive. Flexible construction and a zero-drop platform support natural alignment, allowing your feet to move freely with every step.

Who are Maximinima Barefoot Sneakers designed for?

Created for everyday movement including walking, travel, and daily wear for those who value natural comfort without compromising style. Designed for people seeking freedom, flexibility, and a more natural foot shape.

Not intended for specialised sports or high-impact activities that require performance-specific footwear.
