Sore shins are caused by excessively tight and weak anterior tibialis muscles of the front of the shin. If these muscles are tight and weak they will become strained every time you go for a brisk walk. Stretching the shins with a foam roll, and or some other type of self myofascial release will relax and loosen the muscles of your shin to their proper length. Combine this with some simple strengthening using theraband and simple toe raises. Perform 3 sets of 15, three times a week combined with stretching, and shin soreness will soon go away after walks.
