How to classify footwear in product taxonomy
The Shoes category shows how Enrich turns raw product pages into standard category paths, attributes, and comparable ecommerce records.
Product taxonomy classification means choosing the most specific category that describes the product itself, then attaching the attributes that make products in that category comparable. For footwear, the current taxonomy path is Apparel & Accessories > Shoes.

Extralt Enrich applies taxonomy paths and category-specific attributes when ecommerce pages are captured, so the output is ready for filtering, price analysis, product matching, and market intelligence.
