Spikes?  I've never heard of them.

Are they for using on grass?

If you're looking for a ladder safety device, there's a few about.

There's articulated feet, the Rojak ladder stopper (I've one of these), Ladder Mats (ditto), the ladder stand-off (ditto and great for gutter cleaning jobs) and others.

What is it you're after?
