[QUOTE="MangosteenElbow, post: 1541043, member: 322425"] If you get shin splints from only walking then you have some significant biomechanical issues. You need to address that before finding shoes to suit you. Without knowing how shoes could affect the forces on your bones during walking you are just as likely to make it worse, and even more so during running. Ideally you would find a biomechanical expert who analyses your walking (probably on a treadmill). Maybe a podiatrist with exercise and physiology credentials. Most good running coaches have an eye for the obvious, which could be a start. The excess loads which contribute to pain in your shins could come from a number of possible causes. Turned in hips; torsional twist in lower limbs ... We're guessing until there is accurate analysis of your particular gait. Shoes with excess cushioning, heel flare, little flex in the midsole, big heel toe drop ... can contibute to distorted biomechanics. Avoid buying them based on reviews alone. Buy them to suit your needs so you have to work out your beeds not guess them or ignore it them. That step will save you $$$$ in the "long run" and support your development into higher load bearing running.
