If you have chronic shine splints from over pronation, these shoes will serve to tame the pain (not a medical diagnosis or recommendation but based solely on my personal, anecdotal evidence).

I found out that I was an over pronator about 10 years ago. Since that time, I have run in two shoes: Brooks' Beast and a Saucony. Both are made for over pronation; but, while the Saucony felt slightly lighter on the feet, there is nothing the compares to the sturdiness and reliability of the Brooks Beast. Prior to learning that I over pronate due to my severely flat feet, I had chronic shine splints on the outside of my legs. When I was advised of the cause of the shin splints, I switched to these shoes and have never once looked back, only once switching to another brand with satisfaction but not the same consistency.

I run regularly. I am not fast but thanks to these shoes, I am able to run for endurance. I enjoy the endorphins, the calories burned and the pleasure that comes at the end of a race or unit run alike. If you enjoy this as well but are hampered by a similar ailment, I highly recommend these shoes as a cure.
