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
Another way
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($this->getProduct()->getId());
If you create an attribute like yours "shoesize" then you can access by following code.
If your attribute type Text Field ( $_product should loaded ) :
getShoesize();
// if your arribute was shoe_size then
echo $_product->getShoeSize();
?>
If your attribute type Multiple Select or Dropdown, to get all attribute value :
getAttributeText('shoesize');
?>
