New shoes will help, but it isn't a cure all.
Try to increase your step cadence. This will cause you to slightly shorten your stride, which allows you to also work on landing softer.
I struggled with shin splints all through high school and for about 10 years after. I couldn't afford new shoes every 9 months, but I am heavy, so I should have been. I was also running too much like a sprinter...forward, and on my toes. I learned to drop my hips a bit, and increase my turnover.

I don't understand what this means?
I've shortened my stride considerably compared to my past attempts. I feel this has helped tremendously as I've never been able to make it this far in training before. But, they still bother me.
