Show product attributes in list.phtml - Magento

Hello I have read many posts about this, and while it works its not complete.

For example; Attribute 1= shoesize and attribute 2 = shoe color. Both are in a dropdown and I would like to list all of the possible attribute colors per product within the category pages.

Problem: When I test the code it will only display the first shoe color, instead of all posibilites. What am I doing wrong here?

Here are 3 examples of what I have. All code work, but only shows the first attribute color. Example 1:

<!-- Find the following loop -->
<?php foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?>
<!-- Inside it insert one of the following codes as needed -->
<!-- Use this for regular text attributes -->
<?php echo $_product->getMyAttribute() ?>
<?php echo $_product->getAnotherCustomAttribute() ?>

<!-- Use this for dropdown attributes -->
<?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('shoecolor') ?>
<?php endforeach?>
<!-- ... --> 

Example 2

<?php echo $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('shoecolor')->getFrontend()->getValue($_product) ?>

Example 3

<?php $type = "simple"; $p = "0" ?> 
<?php foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?> 
<?php $custom = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_configurable')->setProduct($_product); ?> 
<?php $col = $custom->getUsedProductCollection()->addAttributeToSelect('shoecolor')->addFilterByRequiredOptions(); ?> 
<?php foreach($col as $simple_product) { $p=$simple_product->getId(); $type="configurable"; } ?> 

<?php if($type == "configurable"): ?> 
<h5><?php echo $_product->load($p)->getAttributeText('shoecolor'); ?><?php $type="simple" ?></h5> 
 <?php endif; ?>

you can just config it in attribute edit page

Used in Product Listing -> Yes
