A sleeve is disclosed for a leg of a ladder. The sleeve includes a length of generally “U”-shaped cross-sectional material, and the sleeve slides over an end of the leg of the ladder. Each rung of the ladder slides along an open portion of the generally “U”-shaped cross-section as the sleeve is slid over and along the leg of the ladder. When the ladder rests against an object, the sleeve can be longitudinally adjusted along the leg to reduce marring the object from contact by the leg of the ladder.
