Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)
Shin splints are classified by a list of symptoms that can have a number of different causes. The most common cause is inflammation of the periosteum of the tibia. The periosteum is the thin layer of tissue that surrounds the bone.

Without SOLE
The unsupported foot collapses, causing increased traction forces from the muscles of the lower leg on the periosteum. The added traction causes small tears, inflammation, and pain in the shin area.
It is a common overuse injury and occurs regularly in athletes who participate in high impact activities.
