Sestriere-XT 2 vs Women's Fresh Foam Arishi v4 Shoes: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Azo dyes in synthetic textile dyeing, Volatile organic compounds (VOC) off-gassing from synthetic materials, Formaldehyde-based finishes in textile processing and Coating degradation and microparticle shedding from DWR finish on the Diadora and not on the New Balance.
• We flag Azo dyes and color-based toxins and Antimony in polyester on the New Balance and not on the Diadora.
• The Diadora is Textile upper with likely DWR finish where the New Balance is Mesh upper, Fresh Foam midsole, rubber outsole, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the New Balance is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Diadora grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
