I kno I kno I should go to a running shoes store. We don't have one so what's the next option. Nike give my shin splints and sketchers just hurt. I need some shoes for treadmill walking and cardio. I'm 199 lbs and bad knees.

What kind of Nikes gave you shin splints? Just wondering if it was a traditional athletic shoe or the new fangled free runs. I'm interested in them, as I like to workout barefoot. But when that's not possible I stick with Asics Gel-Nimbus. And of course you are right, you should head into a store and try a few pairs on. One drive is worth not having the hassle of returning and then waiting again. Good luck on the shoe hunt. =)

I think the ones I have are shocks?
