Not all, but many people get shin splits because they went to a general store and purchased a generic shoe without getting one specifically suited to them and their needs. Again, not all cases are this way but if you ensure the shoes you are wearing are tailored specifically to you and your needs, you'll reduce the risk of getting those nasty shin splints.

Less impact, more natural muscle movement, I am not sure what it was, but I haven't had any issues with the splints since I started. Barefoot running cured my shin splints.
