Adjust the lacing system for a more customized fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or smaller if possible, or ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.

Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may have accumulated. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry.
