Theory
As we know the positively charged ions and the negatively charged ions came together these molecules come together the force that is known as vanderwall force of attraction but is she but it really has when is geckos help here like projection so it attracts the ions and molecules that caused the checkout to stick where are you notice on no that they can support these here for a projection can support their hundred of their weight

they move slower when they are at the top than when they are at the side or ground, it mean they feel there own weight. So yeah they dont defy gravity.

If however, the nucleus of atom is off-centered, then you get a much weaker force than van der waals that manifests as dipole gravity on a macro-scale. It is the charge of the plasma core of planet that causes nucleus of atoms to become off-centered. Stars, planets and moons are all charged. Neutral things on surface of planet are attracted to both poles of gravity like iron filings are to a magnet.

Also if you put a gecko on an non adhesive surface which does not produce any van der waals forces, like some frying pans, the gecko loses it's super power.
