Answer

Instead of like or including, it is best to use such as. Using 'like' is ambiguous. 'Including' is ok, but also a bit ambiguous.

Answer

'Including' sounds much better than 'like', it is more descriptive.

Answer

I have to agree with the above answer "like" is frowned upon in writing 101. Including is more than fine to use in this statement.

Answer

I'm assuming the question is can you use both including and like in this statement?

I would slightly rephrase the statement and only use including.

Students can design their own sports shoes before buying them. The designs can include different colors and patterns.
