A Gecko cannot stick to Polytetrafluoroethylene (a.k.a. Teflon) due to the plastics resistance to Van Der Waals forces The oil will disrupt the vander waals force that allows a gecko to climb. Plastic is made from oil. Why do gecko's feet stick so well? The the vander waals force unique form by seta, tiny hairs that have spatula shaped tips. Water increase this power and oil will stop it. I saw a gecko slip on a human leg and couldn't believe it. Must of had oily skin?

Why do Teflon socks reduce friction and blister on the feet?
Teflon socks reduce friction and blister formation on the feet due to the low friction properties of Teflon material. This helps to minimize the abrasion between the sock and the skin, reducing the likelihood of blisters. Additionally, Teflon socks can wick moisture away from the skin, further decreasing the chances of friction-related issues.
