    It isn't my shoes...I wear Nike Shox..they are the ONLY shoes that don't hurt my feet when treading.

    Just because they aren't hurting your feet doesn't meant that they may not be the reason for your shin splints, especially if they are old, well-worn, and/or breaking down. (I realize they may be new, but this is something to keep in mind for the future.) You should replace your shoes after every 500 or so miles ran. Sometimes less, sometimes more depending on the shoes. My last pair of running shoes are still very comfortable, but I know they're too worn down to use for running. I still wear them for walking though.

    Well, they are new and I only wear them on the treadmill. I do replace my shoes and make sure they fit perfectly for how I use them. I really focused on my landing yesterday and stretched using the 'trace the alphabet with your feet' and no pain at all. It leaves me to the conclusion that it was form and inadequate stretching.
