Any one can reconmend a good brand of sneakers to help with

[Mtal]

I get shin splints when I run. Also I have flat feet and my sneakers seem to wear out on the outside of the sneaker. I hear they make sneakers that help with this. Does anyone have any experience with a good brand and could make a reconmendation. Thanks.

New Balance makes several types of shoes to fit and correct. You should go to a specialty running store and get fitted.

I have actually had nothing but bad experiences with New Balance

What I would recommend is just getting a comfortable pair of shoes (perhaps an orthopedic insert if you feel you'll need it) and simply stretch throughly.

I ran cross country and track and I swear by Saucony. I've never had a bad pair. Are you running around a track? If so, try running part way one direction, then about halfway, turn around and run the other direction. That sometimes helps. The types of surfaces you run on can have an influence as well.

PS, those are some great stretches.
