Wave Mujin TL GTX Sports Style Sneaker vs Women's Fresh Foam Arishi v4 Shoes: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Microplastic shedding from membrane degradation and Chemical leaching from GTX adhesives and coatings on the Mizuno and not on the New Balance.
• We flag Azo dyes and color-based toxins on the New Balance and not on the Mizuno.
• Both carry a flag for Antimony in polyester, so neither choice avoids it.
• The Mizuno is Textile upper with Gore-Tex GTX waterproof membrane 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 Mizuno grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
