Thought I'd add a stretch that seems to help me:
Stand facing away from a wall about a foot away. Lean back resting your back and butt against the wall (sort of like a wall squat). Your legs should be just a little more than a 90 degree with your knees. Now LIFT your toes as high as you can.. leaving your heels on the ground. HOLD this position for 20-30 seconds. Do this for 3 or 4 sets. Make sure to not let your toes touch the ground... keep them up as high as you can. Also this works best barefoot.
This really stresses the tibialis. Seems to always help me.
Redtide: I have _really_ flat feet. Do you think New Balance is a good pick? My feet are fairly wide, and most Nikes still hurt my shins.
I just got back into running/sprinting. So I'm trying to prevent any shin problems before they start.
I actually had anterior compartment syndrome back in HS. I had surgery, where they released the fascia in both legs. It cured it, but I was forewarned that problems return years after the surgery.
