Shock absorbing insoles for shin splints?

I tried Superfeet sold at Sportchek but they add about 1.5 inches to the heal of my foot and make my shoes super tight. Can anybody reccommend some that really work and are a comftorable addition to your shoe?


(by the way I run)

Shock absorbing insoles for shin splints?
i tried dr. scholl%26#039;s insoles, they worked pretty well but mostly for my knees. they%26#039;re not too tight, a very nice jelly fit =]


i dont remember if they%26#039;re a special kind but they%26#039;re like a clearish blue


if you already have shin splints, you might want to heal them first by icing them (30 min. ice, 10 min no ice, 30 min ice...) and eating bananas!
Reply:Shinsplints suck, i had them last year and tried a new pair of shoes, then insoles, and i didn%26#039;t like either of them.





i just took some advil, then iced them.


they still hurt for awhile after, ask your coach/trainer for stretches to help them heal.





good luck.
Reply:I suffered from shin splints for a long time...Did some research and found out I overpronate when I run, which is common in people w/ flat or even just slightly flat feet. I ordered these inserts for my shoes which are suppose to give you better motion control. By the way, you are only suppose to ad inserts to your shoes if the existing inserts can come out...which most do. With these ones you have to take out your old insoles and place them on top of the new insoles and trace around the top and cut them to fit. Mine turned out perfect for my shoes and are actually more comfortable than the insoles that came w/ my shoes. I wear Nike shox....anyway, they have worked wonders for me and I haven%26#039;t had shin splints since.
