Quick answer
Start with the narrowest neutral category you can identify. Category-first research creates a consistent checklist: footwear needs profile and sizing evidence, clothing needs measurements, and bags need dimensions and construction views.

Why category-first research works
A category defines the questions worth asking. It reduces vague searches and prevents unrelated items from looking comparable simply because their cover photos share a style.
Some people begin with a brand or model name, but category-first research is easier to compare. Start with shoes, sneakers, clothing, bags, watches, or accessories, then inspect the external product details and source links yourself.
Choose the category by the decision you need to make
Fit decision
Start with clothing or footwear and prioritize measurements, size system, shape, and material behavior.
Construction decision
Start with bags or accessories and prioritize dimensions, closures, lining, hardware, edges, and scale.
Compatibility decision
Start with electronics or watches and prioritize specifications, dimensions, connectors, included parts, and support limits.

What evidence matters for each category
| Category group | Useful evidence | Often missed |
|---|---|---|
| Footwear | Side profile, sole, heel, material, code, and size notes. | Packed weight and size-system differences. |
| Clothing and jerseys | Garment measurements, fabric, construction, and front/back details. | Fit assumptions based only on a label. |
| Bags and accessories | Dimensions, closures, lining, hardware, and scale. | Empty versus packed shape. |
| Watches and electronics | Specifications, dimensions, compatibility, and included parts. | Unsupported performance or support claims. |
Compare every result on the same basis
Choose three to five fields before opening results. For footwear, that might be code, size system, outsole, heel, and packed-weight basis. For clothing, it might be chest width, length, fabric note, print placement, and source type.
If a page cannot answer a required field, write “not shown.” A blank is more honest and more useful than a guessed value.
Which category should a reader start with?
Choose the category that describes the physical product, not the marketing around it. If a product fits more than one, use the category whose evidence checklist best exposes the differences you care about.
Checklist before opening an external result
- I know what product type I am comparing.
- I know which detail should distinguish a useful result.
- I will record the destination type and date checked.
- I will compare source, size, QC, and weight evidence before saving.
