Spike Shoes are an item in Spelunky 2.
They can be found in crates with a 1.44% chance, shops, or as a reward from a Kali Altar. It is a guaranteed drop from the Yeti Queen, and Jiangshi Assassins have a 1/1000 chance of dropping Spike Shoes.
Functionality[]
Spike Shoes increase the user's stomp damage to three HP per stomp, instantly killing most common enemies. The user can also stomp enemies that are normally immune to stomp damage, such as Quillback or Horned Lizards in their rolling form. For the longer that the user remains in the air, Spike Shoes scale in damage.
- This scaling damage resets if the user lands on the ground, uses the double jump on Vlad's Cape, or activates a Jetpack.
- By contrast, damage scaling does not reset if landing on an enemy, using the Hoverpack, or gliding with a Cape, Parachute, or Vlad's Cape, which allows for fast killing of high health enemies.

| 0-7 tiles | 3 |
| 8-15 tiles | 4 |
| ≥16 tiles | 99 |
Much like Spring Shoes, Spike Shoes prevent damage from stepping on Thorny Vines and the heads of Octopy. Uniquely, they also prevent the user from slipping on ice in the Ice Caves, instead treating them like a normal tile.
