Which URL structure is better? Especially for a market that has 500+ subcategories.

Site > Category > Subcategory

Example:
mysite.com/pants/
mysite.com/pants/red-pants/
mysite.com/pants/black-pants/
mysite.com/pants/yellow-pants/

and so on . . .

OR

mysite.com/pants/
mysite.com/red-pants/
mysite.com/black-pants/
mysite.com/yellow-pants/

and so on . . .

And if the site is pants.com?

pants.com/red
pants.com/yellow
pants.com/blue
pants.com/green

that's what i'd do.
 
This one will be good because you can add more product with a category like mysite.com/shirt/blue-shirt/Medium szie

mysite.com/pants/
mysite.com/pants/red-pants/
mysite.com/pants/black-pants/
mysite.com/pants/yellow-pants/

it's good when you sell only one brand with more color

mysite.com/pants/
mysite.com/red-pants/
mysite.com/black-pants/
mysite.com/yellow-pants/

If it's only related to one topic, Then this better.

mysite.com/red-pants/
mysite.com/black-pants/
mysite.com/yellow-pants/

If you're just selling pants, I'm pretty sure you'll want to categorize your catalog as well..

pants.com/women/red
pants.com/men/red
pants.com/kids/red
pants.com/jeans/red
and etc...
 
I suggest you to go with

mysite.com/pants/
mysite.com/pants/red-pants/
mysite.com/pants/black-pants/
mysite.com/pants/yellow-pants/
 
Very smart replies guys. Appreciate it.

I need to do do some thinking here.

My site currently does only one thing.

Helps people find tissues.

STRUCTURE A

mysite.com/black-tissue
mysite.com/office-tissue
mysite.com/green-tissue

STRUCTURE B

mysite.com/tissue/black-tissue
mysite.com/tissue/office-tissue
mysite.com/green-tissue

My "issue" is my competitors are using
the STRUCTURE B and only one of them is using STRUCTURE A
both are getting good rankings though.

I'm also getting good rankings lol Well starting too . . .
 
I like the first one as you'd want the visitors of your site to find these posts easily. It's not just about SEO but also about user-friendliness.
 
mysite.com/pants/
mysite.com/red-pants/
mysite.com/black-pants/
mysite.com/yellow-pants/

Preferred in my opinion.
