Addiction Walker 2

$140.00

Decent match : Brand cites BioMoGo DNA cushioning + Extended PDRB structured support + leather upper + APMA Seal — strong all-day fit for healthcare on-feet workers. Ranks behind shoes that combine cushion and slip-resistance because the brand page does not assert slip resistance for this SKU.

  • Dansko

    XP 2.0

    $165.00

    Strong match: Brand cites a patented slip-resistant rubber outsole + Dansko Natural Arch technology + memory foam cushioning + removable energy-return dual-density PU footbed + reinforced toe box + waterproof leather (this colorway): strong healthcare-cluster signal that combines slip-resistance with shift-comfort. Ranks higher than Dansko Pro because the XP 2.0 brand page explicitly asserts slip resistance whereas the Pro brand page is silent.

    Decent match: Brand cites Crocs Lock slip-resistant tread + ASTM F2913-11 + CE + EN ISO 20347:2012 OB SRC + cleanability + clog construction with heel-hugging backstrap — healthcare-cluster fit with stronger heel containment than the standard Bistro line.
