I used to have major problems with shin splints, but not anymore. Try these ideas.
1- I wear two pairs of black support socks. They look just like regular socks but they give great support to the calves, shins, and arches. You can pick them up at most any drug store. I buy mine at CVS.
2- The Converse Whistles are 100 times better than the old Runnin' Refs. It's contured more like a sneaker.
3- Wrap your knee with the foam wrap that trainers normally apply before taping. Then start above your knee and roll the foam tape down to form a ring just below the knee cap. It works just like the strap that you see the players wearing.
