Lots of tiny microscopic hair in their feet help them navigate on walls, ceilings and also on thin strands that they weave. Van der Waals forces which help the spider stick only work within a couple of nanometers (billionths of a meter). Check the nice article for further information.

I am told that they attach small pieces of used bubble gum to the soles of their feet. There is a plentiful supply of the stuff everywhere. if you've ever accidentally trodden in some, you'll know how sticky it is!
