Yes, in common with all metals, stainless steel is a conductor, but it is not widely used as such. There are some, specialist, applications -such as stainless steel coatings to railway conductor rails.

What footwear is electrically conductive and non conductive?

Electrically conductive footwear typically has metallic components or conductive materials embedded in the sole to allow static electricity to flow through them, preventing electrostatic discharge. Non-conductive footwear is made of materials that do not conduct electricity, such as rubber or plastic, providing insulation against electrical currents.
