Stack describes height; drop is the difference between heel and forefoot. These dimensions are not quality scores. Weights from different sizes are not precise comparisons of equivalent samples.
What to consider
Maximum cushioning groups designs with more material or a particular underfoot focus. Height and softness are different properties and do not guarantee comfort for every runner.
Try the size with your usual socks, checking toe room and secure hold. Foam names, plates and prices cannot replace this assessment. This page does not prescribe footwear or attribute injury prevention to the model.
