+1 for testing. It depends more on how you organize the items in a shop than what is being used currenty in other sites. If your taxonomy doesn't help people find things, then it's not an issue of breadcrumbs or not. If I'm category-browsing (say, I have no idea what to buy a nephew for xmas) then breadcrumbs would be my best friends (more than search).
