Advice on shin splints

I’ve been really getting into running over the last 3-4 months; however, I can’t seem to shake my tendency to get shin splints.
I’m 6’3” and ~230lbs. I wear good Brooks running shoes but have also tried On Clouds, Hoka’s, and Xero. I can run on my treadmill or outside and still seem to get them if I run more than 2x/week.
Any advice from experienced runners?

Totally useless if you haven’t been fitted for them

I’m going to guess you have not had your running form looked at and fitted with the correct shoes.
Also treadmill running is different than hitting the pavement
Unless you are running on a woodway type treadmill

Two things:
1. Run through them. Ice when you get done running.
2. Tibialis raises.

On clouds are not good running shoes
I get splints when I stretch too much. Try different warmup moves and shakeout on the run instead.
And as mentioned, run through them.

Get them very stretched and loosened before walking or running. Simple.

Try foam rolling calves and shins. Not and expert here, but tight calves put stress on the weaker shin muscles and tendons.

I have never been able to 'run through them' ETA: to be fair though, i am almost convinced mine are not actually shin splints, but runners compartment syndrome.
I will say, my best success in avoiding pain lately has been running at a quicker pace, as i reckon my form is significantly better when faster. Gotta take more rests, but it should all even out a bit at some point.

Foam roll/massage gun especially around the calf area. If the pain is intolerable, stay off running for at least a week. Stretch stretch stretch. Ice your shins every few hours.
