Should I use a boot for shin splints

Believe it or not, most of the time when I see a runner, either on webcam or in their home, and they have shin splints, and they've been given a fracture walking boot, they need the fracture walking boot and maybe even more. But what that really tells me when a doctor says you have shin splints but you need a boot, that it's really that the doctor is uncertain about the actual diagnosis, because in my view, most of the time, if you have shin splints, you do not need a fracture walking boot. Should I use a fracture walking boot for shin splints? Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run podcast.
