I would buy the original again but stay away from the 2nd version.
Thankfully Brooks has a great return policy.
Hi Nancy. While the Ghost Max 2 did not outright replace the Dyad, it is comparable in that it is a neutral style shoe and has a wider width to provide some stability. The insoles are also removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics.
Hi Debbie,
The forefoot on the Ghost Max 2 is not very stiff, something with a stiff forefoot would be something like the Launch 10.
Hi Miriam,
I would say pelican is a dark gray color!
Hope this helps!

A broad base and raised side walls offer inherent stability for a secure feel.
