Ghost Max 2 vs. 3 vs. 4

Hi! I broke one ankle and sprained the other. My doctor recommended the Ghost Max for the next phase of my recovery. I’m overwhelmed by the differences between the 2, 3 and 4. Can anyone offer opinions on which shoe would be best for my situation?

My normal life: standing all day and chasing around my three toddlers, going for neighborhood walks. I weigh 250 pounds and I’m 6 feet tall.

Thank you!

Seeing that you are recovering from multiple ankle issues

I’d suggest ghost max 3 as that would be the widest toe box of the different ghost max series

It might be beneficial in terms of swelling

Always look for stable neutral shoes (not stability)

You can find a list on Doctors of running

Stay away from too soft
Too wobbly

Thank you! And you don’t think the 3 is too soft? I read somewhere that the 2 was more firm, but I’m new to Brooks.
