Shoe Inserts

Alan says that he was told about 85% of runners "turn their feet in" and need inserts (supports?) to compensate. He swears by them, and says he has not had any problems, where he has in the past. Fleet Feet will video you running on a treadmill to determine if you need such an insert. Or may you can just get some "inserts" since chances are you are one of the 85%. I wouldn't keep going with the shin splints. One summer at Black River after walking all week with shin splints and then continuing when I got home, it ended up taking several months before I could do any serious walking without my shins killing me. I thought I was doomed for life. I did get new shoes that truly "put a bounce in my step" and I love them (for walking and exercising). But I'm guessing good running shoes are a must.
