[QUOTE="BackpackHunter, post: 872707, member: 72749"] BearDog - I have never used them when hiking, as I've never had a problem with shin splints in that scenario. I have however used them a lot while running. I tend to get shin splints when doing a lot of running and have used both compression socks and compression sleeves. The compression sleeves I use are made by ZENSAH and are designed to help with shin splints. I can tell you with confidence I noticed a good bit of improvement when using them. The compression socks I didn't notice any improvement, but this is expected as the ones I own are designed to promote blood flow, not prevent shin splints. Compression socks do great for recovery though. They help reduce swelling and improve recovery times. So one way you may implement compression socks is to wear them for a couple of hours at camp after hiking is done. Everyone here is giving some good advice though. Start your activity levels slow and build in intensity and duration. Implement some warm ups, cool downs and stretching if you haven't already. There is tons of information on the internet on how to treat shin splints. If you can't seem to get it solved go to a doctor. Not trying to complicate things further, but look at your boots. They may not be appropriate for what you are doing, or they may not fit properly. [/QUOTE]
