Hi Elara. I'm not sure if this will help but I have to post given that I bought some Asics and I hated them because they tend not to be the shoe for me! I bought them because I've heard there supposed to be some of the best. I did have shin splints as well as the bottom of my feet falling asleep as if they were too tight only in certain places. However when I bought them the store gave me also 30 days to return but some how gave me a hassle and kept saying I had to break them in. I finally broke them in and I'm not sure if there GREAT! However the best piece of advice I can give you is to ice up afterwards and lay off while you're having pain b/c it will just get worse if you don't rest. I'm going for New Balance next time! Good luck and hope all is well.

Happy running.

sounds like posteria shin splints , if its not over use its flat feet /arch support, or your leaning too much,or your strike moved forward with light shoes. Dont run through the pain (stress fracture)... Ice always even after hot showers

I just began running two weeks ago, and use asics sneakers as well. Have serious shin pain. Hmmm is it the shoe? I think my arches collapse a bit too though. Interested in the out come.

lenzlaq that article is great. I currently have skin splintz but only on my left leg and it only recently started. Taking a break will be hard since I am now addicted to racing.

Thanks
