and often Bauer junior skates are not made to the same level as senior skates, Whilst a junior may have a 1x name, the materials it is made from are not the same as a senior 1x. But some other brands don't follow this principle, I know for sure that CCM / Rbk junior skates from 2014(?) and onwards (RBZ, Jetspeed, FT1, Super and Ultra tacks, 50k, 70k lines) are made the same as the senior skates (I don't know about previous lines though).
