When I first started working out with a trainer I was having horrible shin splints in the back of my legs. Eventually I broke down and went to a shoe store that actually fits you with shoes (Fleet Feet is one here in Atlanta). They measure your feet both sitting down and standing as well as look at how you actually walk. My right foot actually increases 1.5 sizes between my sitting and standing measurements and i do not walk evenly on my feet (probably a consequence of when I was a baby - had braces on my feet to help correct the problem). Anyway I bought a new pair of basic sneakers that the rep thought were the same basic shape as my feet and then I also bought a $35 pair of inserts for the shoes. These have a hard plastic formed arch to keep them from "falling" and a cup in the heel to make my foot stay in the proper place. After a week of my arches hurting from actually being required to support me I have not had any more pain. Most of my other shoes now hurt my feet from the lack of support.
