I suffer from painful shin splints, how can using SOLE Custom Footbeds help?
Shin splints are classified by a list of symptoms, which could have a number of causes. The most common cause is inflammation of the periosteum of the tibia (sheath surrounding the bone). Traction forces occur from the muscles of the lower leg on the periosteum. It is a common overuse injury and occurs regularly in athletes who participate in high impact activities — such as running and jumping. People who oversupinate are also at an increased risk for experiencing shin splints. Because shin splints are most often caused by repetitive shock and impact to the feet and legs, SOLE Custom Footbeds can be an effective preventative measure. Specifically, the SOLE SOFTEC Series provides industry-leading cushioning material to protect your feet against the pain of repetitive high impact activities. Please note: If your pain persists, we advise you to seek the advice of a medical professional.
