Shin splints.... good running shoes?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to treat/cure shin splints. I have had them since I was about 15, I'm 26 now. I used to play alot of sports and had alot of injuries and didn't stretch well. I have tried several different running shoes and can't seem to find a good pair.

Try kinesiology taping for shin splints, it really helped when I had them.

Brooks shoes, run on the balls of your feet rather than striking the heel, which is hard on your shins, stretch your calves against a wall before you run every time. Or look up shin splint preventation stretches. And I ce ice ice! I have shin splints really bad but these have all helped a ton.

Answer

Hi, I used to have shin splints and what I found works is putting some deep heat before going for a run. If the pain gets really bad while running, stop for a minute or two and if it's painful when not running you should probably go she a doctor about it. I know I didn't stop running and playing sports and now I have got bilateral tibia stress fractures. Not fun at all. My recovery time will be about 3-4 months. 
Hope this helps 😄👍🏼

Answer

Depends on how you run and how high your arch is. I run normal (no over/underpronation) and have a high arch, so I don't need much cushion. The Nike Free 3.0 is best for me... The most cushion I would get personally is 4.0. Usually at sports stores they will have you try on shoes and run with them to figure out what shoes will be best. No shoe is the perfect fit for all.

Answer

Eat bananas, potassium and zinc. (I know it's not shoe advice.. But this helped me)
