So it would seem at the grand old age of 26 i've lost the ability to wear flat shoes.
The past few months whenever I have worn shoes such as toms, converse etc for days i'm on my feet a lot I get terrible shin pain. I previously got awful shin splints while running but after getting fitted for stability running shoes I have no further problems. I wear my asics (gt 2000) for running, walking dogs etc and I am fine but I need something that can be used as a more casual shoe. Happy with trainers but ideally ones that don't look like I forgot to change my shoes after the gym. I'm not in the UK and we are approaching summer here so sadly boots are out which is a shame as my ankle boots are very padded and cause me no issues.
