You'll get over shin splints. Pointing your foot helps exercise the muscles on the front of the shin.

I used to run all the time for tennis, never got shin splints. I didn't run for years, and I started getting them...I figure I'll get over them when I start running more.

I paid that much for my last pair of Adidas Climacools, and my new Asics.
I figure if I spend that much on shoes, I'll actually be motivated to use them.

I've always loved New balance for anything athletic. I need to get a pair myself since I just started going to the gym last week.
