    I am a UK size 5, and run in Saucony Ride as a basic road running show (fit well on my narrow ankles).
    I need a new pair and while looking found a pair of Saucony Ride 15s 'junior running shoes' for a fraction of the cost of adult ones, in a UK (adult) size 5. I presume because in the UK you don't pay VAT on children's clothing?
    I have previously bought Saucony juniors for my 5yo son, and they actually hold up better than any other child's sneakers I have bought him.
    However, is there any difference between the 'junior running shoes' and adult ones. They look EXACTLY the same online. Has anybody tried out 'junior running shoes' as an adult?

    i'm not answering your question squarely but personally i believe in buying shoes in person where they can be compared for feel. i say this because you do this in person and the shoes either fit/work or not.
