Running shoes to help prevent shin splints?
hey man, there could be many different causes for the shin splints but I'll start with your specific question about the shoes. Shoes can play a major role in avoiding shin splints, extra cushioning and shock absorbers are essential. The best shoe out their to prevent to shin splints would be New Balance. Saucony are also good.


Besides for the shoes there are some other steps you can take to help prevent them: 1.stretch stretch and stretch


2. Ice 20 minutes b4 you run and 20-30 minutes after


3.don't over-stride while you run


Also, something which helped tremendously, something called a halo-heel. It's a cushion you put into your shoe at the heel and it helps add extra cushioning.


sorry I got a little carried away but I had the same problem and did a lot of research on it.


FEEL BETTER!


(and ibuprofen can also stop the swelling and pain)
Reply:I love my Asics. Hand made and extremely well cusioned. Only one problem, they are a little wide in the front part of your foot.
Reply:calf stretching, is what works best and rest your legs


get heavy cross trainers and for the meets wear light spikes.
Reply:check your arcs first.. check if they are high or low and then get shoes that are according you your arc size .. if your arcs are really high i suggest you getting asics and if they are low get nikes ... good luck
Reply:Are you stretching enough? Before and after the run?





I don't know any shoes off the top of my head, just thought I might help in some way, shin splints suck.
Reply:I wear asics too but i don't think it makes a difference what shoe you wear, to prevent shin splints you need to run on softer surfaces
Reply:No specific shoe designed for shin splints, but there can be a shoe designed for you. If you have never had your feet fitted properly, find a local running ( specialty ) shoe store. They can help with proper fit such as if you have a high arch or flat feet, even correct widths help your feet from sliding around in the shoe. Even how you run or train could help. I am a sprinter and run on the balls of my feet. That of course puts strain on your shins and calfs. When I started running distance I had to learn a different running style. Striking slightly on the front of your foot ( almost flat ) and with your foot landing directly under you or slightly in front. This technique is proving to be more injury free.
Reply:your running should be more smooth not bouncing up and down. shin splints occure because of impact with the surface


is too much for your legs.


shoes wont help, try changeing the mechanics of the way you run a little less bounce in your step
