A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start Walking: Shin splints are due to an imbalance between the muscles that lift the foot and those that pull it down.Walking shoes should have flat, flexible soles and low heels - you should be able to twist and bend your shoes.Strengthen your calf muscles with exercises like toe raises and shin stretches.
