Women's Fresh Foam Arishi v4 Shoes vs Women's Running Shoes Saucony Triumph 23 GTX: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Azo dyes and color-based toxins and Antimony in polyester on the New Balance and not on the Saucony.
• We flag Formaldehyde in textile resins and dyes, Azo dyes in colored textiles, Volatile organic compounds (VOC) off-gassing and Gore-Tex membrane durability and delamination on the Saucony and not on the New Balance.
• The New Balance is Mesh upper, Fresh Foam midsole, rubber outsole where the Saucony is textile upper with Gore-Tex GTX waterproof membrane, 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 Saucony grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
