THE SHORT ANSWER

Two updates and 2 years separate the Saucony Ride 13 from the Ride 15. Net change: 1.1 oz lighter, 7 mm more heel stack, a new midsole, $10 more at list. The Ride 15 is where the character changed, and that is the update Ride 13 owners notice first.

Or buy the Ride 14 instead?

The Ride 14 is not a live option: Amazon's stock is gone in both men's and women's sizes. This is a two-shoe decision between remaining Ride 13 pairs and the Ride 15.

Questions runners ask

Can I go straight from the Saucony Ride 13 to the Ride 15 and skip the Ride 14?
Yes, but going Ride 13 to Ride 15 means taking one change in a single step: the Ride 15 is where the ride moved. Drop holds at 8 mm, so the difference is foam and fit rather than geometry: PWRRUN foam (EVA/TPU blend) to Lighter PWRRUN foam with a PWRRUN+ sockliner.
How much did the weight change across these two updates?
1.1 oz off in total, 9.9 oz to 8.8 oz in a men's US 9. The Ride 14 took it to 9.4 oz first.
Is the Ride 14 the better buy than either of these?
On paper it splits them: 9.4 oz against 9.9 oz for the Ride 13 and 8.8 oz for the Ride 15, on a 28 mm heel and a $130 list price. Availability decides it: Amazon's Ride 14 stock is gone in both men's and women's sizes, so it is not a live option.
Did the Ride get taller between the Ride 13 and the Ride 15?
Heel stack went 28 mm to 35 mm, by way of 28 mm on the Ride 14. Drop held at 8 mm throughout, so the extra foam sits under both ends.
Where does the Ride 15 sit in the Ride lineup now?
Two versions on from the Ride 13, and already replaced itself: the Ride 16 arrived in 2023. If you are shopping old stock anyway, price the Ride 15 against it before deciding.
