Default sliding speaker feet?

I'm redoing a room, and thinking of omitting the wall-to-wall rug and going
with an area rug.
I would like the speakers to be slideable for easy cleaning.
Is there a source for speaker feet that behave like chair-sliders?
I understand that virtually all speaker spikes have standard 1/4 inch
threads.

Here's the one I came closest to what I think you're looking for:

Well I look and look but I think what you're rummaging for are speaker
feet or speaker spike with matching welded foot cup or screw-on foot cup,
a caster or coaster maybe.

I hope that these lead to a source should you decide to search further

Thanks for the effort.

IMHO, the concept of a separate cup and spike is not a performance
enhancement, and makes positioning the speaker on a delicate and valuable
floor surface hair-raising.

The ideal would be a teflon slider that simply attaches in place of the
spike.

Quality casters make a good alternative
(measured reduction in cabinet vibration) to
speaker spikes. They also give you the ability
to move the speakers about freely.

standard 1/4 inch threads.

Three common sizes:
1/4-20
5/16-18
3/8-16
