I've always been told that you should replace your running shoes every 3 to 6 months.

The point of training and stretching the tibialis anterior is very important. Some people have true shin splints where there is the pressure on the bones. For some people it is merely fatigue of the tibialis. Try this, when running, when it hurts, stop for a moment and walk backwards (which allows the tibialis to relax) if the pain subsides then it is muscle. then stretching and working the tibialis (reverse calf raises) should really help
