I recently got over a case of stress fracture (could have been shin splints) in both my legs. What finally made them go away for me was taking 6-8 weeks off running, adding aftermarket insoles in my Asolo Fugitives and other boots, and no longer running in my worn out (almost flat) inov8's which are about 6 or 7 years old. I realized that whenever I ran in my Asolo's, even for a hundred meters or so, the pain would come back. My boots are about 5 years old so the stock insoles where completely shot. I feel like i'll get another few years of use out of them with the new insoles now.
Proper fitting shoes it totally key. Getting insoles that match your gait really help too. I tend to not realize how worn out shoes are getting because although the may look clean on the outside, the soles may be worn out and not providing proper support. I’ve learned this lesson the hard way...a couple of times lol
