Women's Fresh Foam Arishi v4 Shoes vs Women's Saucony Ride TR2 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 PFAS in waterproof membrane (GTX), Azo dyes in textile, Formaldehyde resin finishes on textile and Membrane delamination and microplastic shedding 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 with 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.
