I can see how one document per model blows up when you have many options. But how many models of the shoe do they actually make? They can't possibly make 5000, one for every metadat combination.
If you go with one document per model, you have to do a second search on that product ID to get all of the models. Field Collapsing is exactly for the 'many shoes for one product' problem, but it is not released, so the second search is what you want.
