It all depends on your feel for shinguards I like the ones that you can just slide in and use the sleeve to hold them up check out soccer.com I'm sure that'll help you decide!!

Sounds like shin splints.  You probably don't need to go to the doctor.  You should stay off your feet awhile, and use a cortisone cream on them.  Take an anti-inflammatory med, unless you have any medical condition which would make that unwise.  If they don't feel better with 3-4 days of relative ease, go to the doctor.  \nIf you're going to play softball and tennis regularly, make sure you're wearing good shoes that are designed for those specific uses, and stretch beforehand.

I like Asics shoes they make them specially cushioned for overpronated (flat foot) and underpronated feet (high arch) depending on the type you buy, and this cushioning helps prevent the shin splints you get as a result of the improper posture of your foot.

Buy bigger shoes or don't wear the really pointy ones. As great as they may look, they aren't good for your feet. Sometimes style has to take a backseat to health.

first of all i wouldn't recommend Free's to play football and such.  They are a training/walking/running shoe.  You could easily mess up your ankle.\n\nto answer your question?  7.0's are better.  Nike fixed the ripping problem

I'm a distance runner and I'll tell you right now there's no real way you're gonna get rid of shin splints...you just have to live through them.  One thing that might help though is stretching the gastrocnemius by putting the leg back, keeping the heel on the floor with a straight knee then slowly leaning forward into a wall until you feel it pull. Another good one is stretching your soleus muscle by putting your foot forward and bending your knee at a 90 degree angle and putting your weight on the foot. If you're doing it right your knee is right above your toes. It's also a good idea to stretch the hamstring as you would normally stretch your leg out....all three stretches should be done before and after working out to help the shin spints!! good luck!!

Everyone's feet are different, so there's no one answer for that question. Use whatever fits you best.\n\nHowever, one thing that really helps to prevent shin splints are superfeet (green - not blue) insoles. The insoles that come with any pair of running shoes aren't worth much, and replacing them makes a world of difference.\n\nThey are relatively pricy ($30-$35/pair), but WELL worth it. I backpacked 2000 miles this past summer from Mexico to Canada in them and swear by them.

Hockey socks are much bigger and fit over your shin pads.  They go all the way up, over your thigh and connect to your garters or jock.  They also have no feet.

Shin splints are impact stresses and stretching really doesn't help that much.\n\nYou need some really well cushioned shoes and to  do whatever it is you are doing on a softer flooring

It's been a few years since I was heavily involved with the sport, but I used two brands. Mizzuno and Nike, both of which were very good and supportive. I'd go with Mizzuno slightly over Nike because a) they're more specialized to the sport and b) Nike's tended to run a little smaller and invariably caused some discomfort the first few times you wore them. If you were to go with Nike's, I'd recommend breaking them in practice for about a week before you wore them in a game. Good luck!

Buying the right kind of cleats is an essential skill for any ultimate player. A poor choice could result in severe blistering, ankle problems, and even injury. Because there have been so many questions posted about this subject, I decided to take a survey using the rec.sport.disc newsgroup. In total, over 60 people responded, giving information about their favourite cleats, what they like about them, what they don't like, how they think cleats should be improved. The results of this survey are shown below. \n\nThe biggest challenge I had was organizing the information into a format that people could use effectively. I decided on choosing the five most popular cleats and outlining their plus and minuses. Keep in mind that all these comments are based on concensus. There will undoubtedly be players who disagree with some of the results.\n\nBelow are some useful comments made by players:\n\n\n\n"I usually get leather cleats big enough to shrink a little, then I soak them down and wear them while they dry. They get broke in pretty quick and the leather is soft, light, and comfortable. Right now for soft mud I have a pair with six removable cleats, and for everything else I have one with about thirty-something molded cleats."\n\n"It really comes down to what you feel comfortable with and what gives you the best traction on the type of turf you are playing on."\n\n"Seems like you need two sets. One for soft flat fields, screw ins, and one for rock hard baylands cement. I've thought of this alot and have come to a couple conclusions: Football vs soccer screwins. Football design makes more sense for the type of cutting we do on the field. A good receiver or d-back football style will last longer than the soccer do. Made for more abuse by the cuts instead of ball control. The toe cleat on a football cleat is important in cutting. High or midtops recomended. I see so many ultimate players with these lite soccer shoes wearing those damn ankle braces it makes me sick. You'll get much more protection with integrated mid or high top support than adding a bulky uncomfortable brace. Getting the shoe that fits your foot is the main thing. And not a cheap pair either. It's your feet-- take care of them."\n\n"If you get too much traction, knee injuries are knockin' at the door."\n\n" The difference in comfort and the process of being broken in is entirely different when there is a nice leather shoe versus a synthetic shoe. That is one of the reasons I like soccer cleats more than football cleats."\n\n"Keep the distance between your foot and the bottom of the shoe to a minimum - it decreases the chance of rolling your ankle. The problem this poses is a matter of comfort for the bottom of your feet."\n\n"While some folks will choose one pair for tourneys and one for practice, I prefer to alternate each time I play... with ultimate five days a week (two practices, two summer league nights, one pick-up) in the Summer, it helps me to maintain the upkeep of both feet and shoes to switch up cleats"\n\n"Soccer cleats in general work well as long as the ground is soft/gives a little. We've had several seasons in the past few years where the fields have gotten excessively hard after a drought period. With soccer cleats, this hard ground can cause a lot of problems from the impact with the ground. I had some trouble with my knees last year for this very reason. Shorter studs, and more of them, is good because it more evenly distributes the impact."

The reason soccer players use tape is to like keep the shin gaurd in place to keep it from not moving all around.  It is also used to stabalize the ankles.  There ya go! :oD

A lot of times the same socks that soccer and baseball players use work just fine. So just go to your local sporting goods store. Or you could try a local Finish Line or Foot Locker, see if they have 'em.

Define cheap please?\n\nTry ebay.\nIf youre looking for something around 80-125$\nget the adidas copa mundials.  \n\n\nI have tried alot of boots already and I think Nike sucks so stay clear away from them.
