ABSTRACT:
A ladder stabilizing system including a pair of mounting assemblies coupled to a lower end of a ladder. Further provided are a pair of stabilizing mechanisms slidably engaged with respect to the mounting assemblies. A pair of feet are pivotally coupled to an associated stabilizing mechanism at a lower end thereof. The feet are adapted to pivot within a plane common to a plane defined by the vertical members of the ladder. Also included is a ladder shoe accessory comprising an elongated member having a rectangular configuration with a lower face and an upper face with a pair of elongated side faces integrally coupled between side edges of the lower face and upper face thereby defining an elongated slot. The upper face further has an elongated slit formed therein and extended between a pair of open ends of the ladder shoe accessory. The feet are adapted to be situated within the elongated slot of the first shoe accessory. Further provided is at least one stabilizer control mechanism for allowing a user to dictate the extent to which the stabilizing mechanisms extend below the ladder.
