Yes, and in fact the electrostatic attraction of dust is a problem. In a vacuum, there is no way for frictional-generated charge to leak off boots. So they electrostatically attract dust the same way that a record attracts dust and a rubbed balloon can pick up flour very visibly in a demo. When the astronauts re-entered capsule, they brought sharp-edge gritty dust with them.
