I agree with Justin, with the huge caveat that you need to find a shop that isn't still stuck on cushion/motion control shoe dogma.

More minimal shoes, when accompanied by proper focus on appropriate technique, have already helped a TON of people with shin splints, among other things. At least one of the running shoe stores here refuses to acknowledge that fact.
