Totally Why I Have Shin Splints

[article--isn't the New Yorker awesome?]

I didn't have them when I hiked summers and wandered around barefoot as much as possible.

And then I took jobs where boot-wearing was mandatory, and lived in a city where barefoot is dangerous. And when I started running again, midwinter...

Whammo. shin splints. I'm so lobbying for barefoot.

So. Question. Is flip-flop as good as barefoot?
