But as a search engine for browsing/research prior to purchasing, it works great. Back when Modista was still operational, I myself bought three or four pairs of shoes that were either discovered or inspired by discoveries made while browsing their site. Each one of those purchases was made after looking into the brand that manufactured them, but–with the exception of one purchase–I had never heard of the brand before that and never would have without Modista or some inferior means of searching through such a massive inventory.
