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.
Classify product data at ingestion time
Extralt Enrich applies taxonomy paths and category-specific attributes to captured ecommerce pages. The result supports filtering and analysis, while giving Enrich structured evidence for cross-store matching and final materialization.

Attribute table
| Attribute | Example values |
|---|---|
| Footwear material | Canvas, Cotton, Faux leather, Leather, Mesh |
| Closure type | Buckles, Drawstring, Elastic, Lace-up, Zipper |
| Heel height type | Flat, Low, Mid, High, Very high |
| Occasion style | Casual, Dress, Other |
Why this matters
Once products share a category path, analysts can compare attributes and segment observed offers by category. Exact cross-store identity remains a separate matching step.
Where Enrich fits
Enrich applies taxonomy classification at ingestion time, so downstream queries use structured product data instead of raw merchant text.
What to inspect
Check the leaf category, category-specific attributes, and values before deciding whether two source listings can be compared or matched.
