How do I get rid of shin splints when I run on a track?

I get shin splints while running on a hard rubber indoor track. I have new Nike Shox with cushion so im not sure why its happening other than being out of shape.
Should I get custom fitted molded orthotics or are those mainly just for casual walking purposes only?

I have been running for 8 years now and would recommend any type of compression of the calf or calfs that have the shin splints, i.e. taping. So, generally speaking, this is what I would recommend for you:

I would strengthen the core: calves, quads, hams, back and abdominal (the “six pack” muscles along with the obleks), chest and arms. But when strengthening these muscles, I would focus more on the muscle endurance not the muscle bulk. For more advice for this, I would consult with a personal trainer. For the running part, I would stay flexible as it helps/contributes to your balance (so do the muscles in your core) but also helps prevent some injuries like pulled muscles and shin splints. Good Luck!!!
