Question

is that the case?

if so, might have to get some cutstom superfeet made up.

have a set of inline super feet, but they don't cut it, so i'm thinkin maybe a custom set, if it is in fact a lack of arch support that does it.

Shin pain and problems can be directly to poor arche support (as is my case).

Do yourself a favor and go to a real pediatrist. Get a proper footbed made and you wil be very happy. Be wary of the kind that just take an imprint of your foot. You want to see someone who looks at how you walk.

Shin splints are sharp shooting pains felt in your shins. Not fun. I used to get them lots until I had proper arch supports made ($320). Too bad the damage has been long done to my knees though. My arches are fallen and this causes my shin bone to be off-center at the kneecap (instaed of pointing up they point in). This in turns puts a lot of pressure on the kneecap and joint and causes me lots of pain if I walk or stand for any thenght of time. The kneecap doesn't track straight and tends to be rather sloppy. Makes for a painfull day after skiing.

Before I got my arch supports I was able to stand or walk for about a half hour before it was too painfull. Now I can go about 1-2hrs. Mnt biking has hellped lots in that area too.

convicts have bigger things to worry about than shin splints. For example, how they're gonna stop the bleeding that bubba caused last night when he got overzealous during their not so intimate sex session.
