Is it a Category or an Attribute?

Some things are clearly Categories. For example, if you have an electronics store, MP3 players would make a good Category. If you're selling jewelry, earrings would make a good Category.

Other things are clearly Atributes. Color, descripNon, picture, and SKU number are almost always Atributes.

SomeNmes, the same thing can be used for a Category or an Atribute. For example, suppose your site sells shoes. If you made size an Atribute, then aGer your shoppers have located

a specific shoe, they can select the size they want. However, if you also made size a Category, the shoppers could begin their shopping by selecNng their size. Then they could browse through the styles available in their size. So should size be an Atribute, a Category,

or both? The answer depends upon what kind of shopping experience you want to create for your customers.
