FAQs
What material is the upper of the Maxilla trainers made from?
The upper of the Maxilla trainers is made from a sleek, black man-made material, providing a modern look and feel.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities like running?
No, the Steve Madden Maxilla trainers are designed as fashion footwear. While comfortable for everyday wear, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities or intense workouts.
How should I clean my Maxilla trainers?
Gently wipe the man-made upper with a soft, damp cloth. For rhinestone embellishments, use a very soft, barely damp cloth and pat gently. Avoid submerging in water or using harsh chemicals.
Are the rhinestones securely attached?
The rhinestone embellishments are designed to be secure. However, to ensure their longevity, avoid harsh rubbing, snagging, or direct impact with abrasive surfaces. Treat them with care.
Do Steve Madden Maxilla trainers run true to size?
Steve Madden footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size.
What is the primary benefit of the thick sole?
The thick, artfully sculpted sole provides both a significant style statement and enhanced cushioning for comfort during casual wear. It contributes to the trainer's distinctive, contemporary silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Rhinestones appear dull or dirty
Gently wipe the rhinestones with a soft, lint-free cloth that is slightly dampened with plain water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
New footwear often requires a break-in period. Wear for short durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.
Sole makes a squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new soles. Try walking on different surfaces. For internal squeaks, a small amount of talcum powder sprinkled inside the shoe, under the insole, can sometimes absorb moisture and reduce noise.
Material appears scuffed or marked
For minor scuffs on the man-made upper, a clean, damp cloth may help. For deeper marks, a specialized cleaner for synthetic materials might be necessary. Avoid harsh rubbing.

Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Maxilla trainers, especially given their man-made materials and embellishments.
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the man-made upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, applied sparingly. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbing, as these can damage the material and finishes.
- Rhinestone Embellishments: The rhinestones are designed to be secure, but delicate care is recommended. Avoid harsh rubbing, snagging, or direct contact with abrasive surfaces. If cleaning near rhinestones, use a very soft, barely damp cloth and pat gently.
- Sole Care: Wipe the thick sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. A soft brush can be used for deeper tread cleaning.
- Drying: Allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
