Would Gecko Materials Work In A Vacuum

Geckos use the van der Waal force to stick to things, an effect that humans can replicate and make various materials that utilize such (like extra sticky gloves). My question is, would these work in a vacuum or near vacuum, as in space. The reason being I wish to use these instead of magnetic boots for astronauts as the latter only works on ferromagnetic material.
