If they are old shoes make sure you get new ones. but I really don’t think that solely the shoes is the reasons for the shin splints.. you need to also look at what you are running on, try not to run on too much concrete or too hard surfaces also you should include some dorsi flexion exercises (sitting in a chair and lifting your toes towards the ceiling) this would help shins get stronger.. you can do this during your weight room time or even at home

My friend had shin splints and she did the mile, the 2 mile and the 800. She went to a shoe store and they gave her some insoles for her shoes, and I know someone else who said it makes hers worse to run inside.

Once you have Shin Splints, the best shoes in the World will not heal the problem. You must rest to heal.
