Well, I don't have flat feet. My girlfriend has flat feet, so I have something to compare to. My feet have a pretty good arch to them, but I definitely have crappy shoes... they were 20 bucks. Anyway, I just splurged and bought some New Balances for $60, which is more than I've spent on shoes, coats, or any clothing item since I was in High School. They feel great on the feet, so we'll see what happens.
I understand "shin splints" is a pretty broad term, but I like to think I have a pretty high pain threshold. I've dealt with shin splints for years, but it's gotten to the point where I've got to come up with something to take care of it. I just have a feeling that I'm doing something wrong.
If I am running long distance, are there any specific techniques that I should use to reduce the impact that causes shin splints? I'll try the new shoes, and keep toughing it out. Stopping training right now just isn't in the cards because I've got so much coming up. Plus I am expected to be at the gym for MMA training, so I better keep it up, or else!
Thanks a lot for the help fellas
