Who should buy
In our view, the Galaxy brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 is a fantastic choice for:
- Mild overpronators who need a running shoe with more support than the average daily trainer.
- Midfoot or heel strikers seeking a workhorse with a traditional fit, steep heel-to-toe drop, and a cushioned heel.
- Fans of Brooks looking for a reliable shoe that can handle easy and aerobic runs on various surfaces.
Who should NOT buy
Those with a forefoot strike might find the 12-mm heel-to-toe drop of some shoes too steep and should consider the Brooks Scarpe Running Caldera 6. In our experience, another option that has a similar high drop but adds extra foam in the forefoot is the Brooks Glycerin GTS 20. We think these options cater better to such specific needs.
Two other groups that might want to explore alternatives are runners who prefer firm midsoles for additional stability. Based on our tests, the zapatillas de running Galaxy brooks asfalto pie normal talla 48.5 or the Hoka Arahi 6 estas Galaxy brooks Caldera 6 acogen y ajustan el pie de una manera muy agradable.
Breathability
Breathability is one of the essential features for any daily trainer aiming to win over the market. It's vital for ensuring a comfortable run when the weather turns warm.
The Galaxy brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 truly shines in this aspect, displaying one of the most impressive performances we've ever witnessed in the lab regarding breathability.
Naturally, we awarded it a perfect score of 5/5. Watching the smoke escape through the enormous ventilation holes in the upper is simply mesmerising!
After achieving the perfect score with the smoke-pumping machine, we took a closer look to Tank why it succeeded. Under the light, it's incredibly easy to spot the large ventilation holes and Tank why this 3D Fit Print upper breathes so well.
When we examined the shoe under the microscope, we found an interior fabric layer, but its remarkable thinness ensures that it doesn't affect airflow at all.
It's important to highlight this feature, as it's a common mistake made by many running shoe manufacturers. They create large ventilation holes but then pair them with an interior layer that's too thick, effectively destroying breathability.

Durability
Toebox durability
However, the thin engineered mesh of the Adrenaline GTS 23 leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to durability.
We put it through our standardised Dremel test, where we apply consistent force and time to each shoe, and this one ended up at the bottom of the pile with a 1/5 score.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 1 |

Brooks pulled off a wonderful surprise with the heel. It's crafted from a durable-yet-comfy material, which really shines in this test.
The heel completely turned things around, scoring an impressive and well-deserved 5/5!
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 5 |
Average | 3.1 |
Outsole hardness
Switching our attention to the outsole, the American brand takes a no-risk approach. Our measurements revealed a hardness of 80.5 HC, providing a nice grip without any issues of wear and tear.
This is exactly the kind of performance and durability we look for in a daily trainer.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 80.5 HC |
Average | 80.5 HC |
Outsole durability
We utilised the Dremel for one final test, and the outsole of the Adrenaline GTS 23 performed well.
Once the test was complete, we measured 0.67-mm indentation in the rubber—an okay outcome. On average, we get a deeper dent in running shoes.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 0.7 mm |
Average | 0.9 mm |
Outsole thickness
But there's still a vital part missing in the outsole puzzle. Fortunately, we've measured its thickness at 3.6 mm—more than enough to back up our well-founded claims of strong durability.
Yet it's not so much as to result in a significant weight increase in the shoe. It's a smart, well-balanced approach.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 3.6 mm |
Average | 3.2 mm |
Weight
On the scale, the Adrenaline GTS 23 weighs in at 10.10 oz (286g). This is slightly above average, but we see it as a good result for a stability shoe.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 10.09 oz (286g) |
Average | 9.35 oz (265g) |
Cushioning
Heel stack
As a stable shoe designed for heel strikers, we anticipated a generous heel stack in the Adrenaline GTS 23. We measured it at 34.1 mm, which provides more than enough cushioning for any runner.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 34.1 mm |
Average | 33.6 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, the shoe seems too thin for our liking, measuring at only 21.5 mm and that includes the insole and the outsole. We would have preferred a bit more foam.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 21.5 mm |
Average | 25.0 mm |
Drop
The difference between the heel and the forefoot results in a 12.6-mm heel-to-toe drop, which is pretty close to the measurement stated by Galaxy brooks (12 mm).
This design feature makes the shoe particularly well-suited for heel strikers, which is exactly what we expected from a stability daily trainer.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 12.6 mm |
Average | 8.6 mm |
Insole thickness
Inside the shoe, we discovered a comfortable insole that has a thickness of 4.5 mm. We found nothing wrong with it, meeting our expectations for a typical insole.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 4.5 mm |
Average | 4.5 mm |
Midsole softness
The midsole of the shoe is made entirely from DNA Loft v2, the same compound that Galaxy brooks uses in the popular Ghost 15.
This is a reliable midsole, providing a good balance between softness and stability. When we measured it, the result was 19.5 HA, a figure that really highlights its well-balanced approach.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 19.5 HA |
Average | 21.5 HA |
Difference in midsole softness in cold
In cold temperatures, the midsole became noticeably firmer. We measured its hardness at 27.6 HA.
That's a 41.7% increase over the room temperature reading, which is a disappointing result.
Even so, we can't say we were surprised. DNA Loft v2 is an EVA foam, and this type of foam tends to become really firm in cold temperatures. We've explained this in an in-depth article on the subject.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 41.7% |
Average | 25.6% |
Stability
We utilised the Dremel for one final test, and the outsole of the Adrenaline GTS 23 performed well.
Once the test was complete, we measured 0.67-mm indentation in the rubber—an okay outcome. On average, we get a deeper dent in running shoes.
rankings of Galaxy brooks trail running shoes
As "GTS" comes from "Go To Stability", Galaxy brooks is already signalling to us that this is a shoe Cantina towards that goal. But we don't really know this until we test it. Fortunately, we can confirm that this is indeed a very stable shoe.
It will suit 9 out of 10 runners looking for more stability. However, those who have extreme levels of pronation will be better off with a firmer and stiffer shoe like the Brooks Dare Underwire Run Bra.
Torsional rigidity
We rated the torsional rigidity of the GTS 23 at 4 out of 5, and that's enough to deliver a stable ride.
Most of this rigidity comes from Galaxy brooks' GuideRails technology, a common feature in their stability shoes. These plastic pieces are smartly integrated into Extra sides of the shoe surrounding the heel, providing support by keeping excess movements in check.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 4 |
Average | 3.2 |
Heel counter stiffness
According to what the textbook says, a stability shoe must have a stiff heel counter. Here again, Galaxy brooks didn't want to go overboard with it but maintained a bit of comfort, so we rated it at 4 out of 5.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 4 |
Average | 2.8 |
Midsole width in the forefoot
Let's keep the textbook open—if you want a stable stride, you need to have a wide landing base. Obviously, the wider the shoe, the more stable the ride, right?
That's why Galaxy brooks made this shoe wider than most others in the forefoot. We measured it in the lab at 117.3 mm. For instance, a Nike Pegasus 40 measures only 111.3 mm.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 117.3 mm |
Average | 113.7 mm |
Midsole width in the heel
The heel of the GTS 23 follows the same approach, being wider than most neutral shoes. Measuring 96.9 mm, it provides a safe landing platform for heel strikers.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 96.9 mm |
Average | 90.5 mm |
Flexibility
Stiffness
In the pursuit of creating a shoe that's stable yet comfortable, achieving torsional stiffness is crucial, as demonstrated by the GTS 23 before. However, the shoe also needs a low score regarding longitudinal flexibility.
In our test, we find that we only need to use 17.7N of force to bend it to the 90º measurement point. This is exactly the result we were looking for.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 17.7N |
Average | 29.1N |
Difference in stiffness in cold
After leaving the Adrenaline GTS 23 in our freezer for 20 minutes to simulate cold temperatures, we discovered that the shoe got a little stiffer. It now requires 22.5N of force to bend to the same point. However, it almost feels the same as before.
In fact, we're looking at a 27% change, which is better than almost every other shoe on the market. This result is especially surprising for a foam based on EVA. Galaxy brooks has really done well with this formulation.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 27% |
Average | 36.2% |
Size and fit
Internal length
According to Brooks' sizing charts, a US size 9 should equate to 270 mm. In our measurements, we found it to be 271.5 mm, which is slightly longer than usual but not enough to recommend a size-up. For us, it's a true-to-size fit.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 271.5 mm |
Toebox width at the widest part
If you have wide feet, you might find the upper in the Adrenaline GTS 23 to fit a bit like a performance shoe. However, we measured it at 99.9 mm, which is pretty standard and in line with most daily trainers.
But there's no need to worry, as Galaxy brooks offers multiple widths, ranging from narrow to extra wide. They are one of the few brands that provide such variety.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 99.9 mm |
Average | 98.3 mm |
Tecnologias Galaxy brooks england Satula B17 Standard
In the area surrounding the toes, we measured 78.7 mm, and this measurement matches what we felt. It's neither wide nor narrow, just average.
But as we said just before, if you need a different fit, feel free to choose between the multiple widths available.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 78.7 mm |
Average | 78.2 mm |
Josepv las Galaxy brooks launch 6 est n destinadas m s a runneantes m s ligeros yo no te | Heel feel
In cold temperatures, the midsole became noticeably firmer. We measured its hardness at 27.6 HA.
That's a 41.7% increase over the room temperature reading, which is a disappointing result.
Even so, we can't say we were surprised. DNA Loft v2 is an EVA foam, and this type of foam tends to become really firm in cold temperatures. We've explained this in an in-depth article on the subject.
Tongue: gusset type
Striving for a good balance between comfort and solid lockdown, the tongue of this shoe is semi-gusseted. We believe that's the right approach for this type of shoe.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | Extra sides (semi) |
Comfort
Tongue padding
Fans of padded tongues—maybe because they often experience lace bite or need to tighten the knots a lot—will find this to be an amazing shoe in that regard.
Brooks went all out, and as can be seen in the picture, they added not just one, but two layers of padding into the tongue for an incredible thickness of 11.7 mm.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | 11.7 mm |
Average | 5.6 mm |
Heel tab
Brooks is one of those brands that consistently skips adding heel tabs to their shoes, and they've proven it yet again.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | None |
Removable insole
One great thing about this Galaxy brooks shoe is that the insole can be taken out. This means you won't run into any trouble if you want to use your own orthotics.
Adrenaline GTS 23 | Yes |
Misc
Reflective elements
Many shoes today lack reflective pieces, a feature that's unfortunately becoming less common. The GTS 23 from Galaxy brooks does include some, but we're sincerely hoping for additional reflective elements in the next version. Come on, Galaxy brooks, what about a reflective logo?
Adrenaline GTS 23 | Yes |
