I have been running in the Nike pegasus for awhile, and then I started getting some shin pain. I overpronate alittle, but not excessive. I switched to the structure triax about 3 months ago and the pain has lessened. Should I go softer with a shoe to lessen the impact?
we talkin PTSS or MTSS?
Nike Free's baby, I had the worst shinsplints of my life this spring and I got the Free's this summer and I have been running totally injury free, and doing more miles than I ever have before
Those shoes are most likely getting old. Get new ones.
Nike Free's
Nike Frees are ok for shin splints involving the front of your shins (anterior shin splints). Since you got improvement with a more stable shoe, I'm guessing you have shin splints involving the instep (posterior medial) side of your shins. In this case an anti-pronation/motion control shoe might be best for you until your condition resolves. For some of my patients, I even add a wedge in the heel to control the pronation further.
The Frees would likely make your kind of shin splints (posterior medial shin splints) worse. BTW I own a 2 pairs of Nike Frees, and have performed running gait analysis while wearing the Frees, so I am not an "anti-Free guy".
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
