World How do you get by Spidey's wall crawling powers in live-action?

[OP84CC82]

In the comic books, it's explained that Spider-Man's wall crawling abilities don't work through thick layers of material (like shoes for example)...so how do you get by doing that in live-action? So far, they've given the actors boots or shoes which would essentially neutralize his powers as far as his feet are concerned. So how could you still portray him as in the comics while still maintaining the actors comfort in live action?

Where in the comics does it state that?

His wall-crawling powers come through means of inertia. His body clings to walls by adapting to the magnetic forces on the walls. That's why in ASM #1, he wouldn't come off the Baxter Building even when The Thing ripped the wall off.

The "little hairs" explanation originated in the first Spider-Man film.

His hands aren't covered, so it sticks, and his feet 'stick' to the walls probably due to static friction.

Although there was this one ridiculous scene in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, where we see Peter walk on the ceiling with just his feet with shoes on.

Suspend your belief and don't think about it too much.

Have peter discover through experiments that his body emits a small field (possibly thicker than the sole of a shoe, 1-2 inches?) which causes atomic static cling. Any part of his body is able to stick and unstick to any surface by will.

No, movie spider-man wears thin shoes, so it's, like, okay, y'know? Please?

Alright first of all if you wanna climb walls in live action you would have to be strong like average to pull you body weigh up. Okay now let's get to the wall climbing part so scientist at this university was studying how a gecko climbs and sticks to any surface and any condition we'll the gecko has hundreds of of hairs in its feet in between flap like things so scientist have developed something called geckskin it's a mimic of a geckos feet that adhesive can hold 700 pounds per card (postcard ) the post card would only cost you about 25 - 75 cents us/cad if you can get a hold of this most likely you can you can make a suit or just boots and gloves then you would be able to climb anything

The product is called = geckskin
Average price = 25 - 75 cents US/CAD
