I am a huge fan of the mizuno wave rider. but this past spring i got shin splints, and now i have a stress reaction.while i have increased my mileage do you think the new model could have had an impact? i did some research and found that the new model has more cushioning. so is it possible that the new shoe has too much cushioning for me and played a part in the injury? thanks.
You don't tell us anything about your training and you expect an answer? How many miles are you running? Are you running them all too hard? How much did you increase the mileage?
The only person around here who will tell you what shoe to wear without any information is trackhead.....and he is an idiot.

Shin splints are typically caused because of overstriding. Landing ahead of your body/hips. The more you train with this running form the greater your risk of developing overuse injuries such as shin pain. Though the shoe could make minor differences in your form, most likely you have been running with inefficient form an extented period but your shins have handle it thus far. You should work on your running economy. Check out

Hey jhuffman. Go find an expressway, try to cross and die.
I would just like to comment that there is very little difference between the wave rider 8 and 9. I think the only real change is in the upper; not the kind of thing that could cause shin splints.
Hey, thanks for the advice, but I'll pass. Have a great day!
