If I understand correctly:
1. products have different product variants ( in case of shoes a combination
of color and size + some other fields).
2. Each product is shown once in the result set. (so no multiple product
variants of the same product are shown)
This would solve that IMO:
1, create 1 document per product (so not a document per product-variant)
2.create a multivalued field on which to facet containing: all combinations
of: <size>-<color>-<any other field>-<yett another field>
3. make sure to include combinations in which the user is indifferent of a
particular filter. i.e: "don't care about size (dc)" + "red" --> "dc-red"
4. filtering on that combination would give you all the products that
satisfy the product-variant constraints (size, color, etc.) + the extra
product constraints ('converse")
5. on the detail page show all available product-variants not filtered by
the constraints specified. This would likely be something outside of solr (a
simple sql-select on a single product)
hope that helps,
