How do you deal with shin splints when running? (lemm.ee)

I noticed it's considerably worse when I run outside on the street/sidewalk as opposed to on a treadmill. I usually run first thing in the morning so I've taken a few minutes to stretch my legs thinking that may be the cause but it hasn't really helped. The only other thing I can think of is that I have flat feet.

Anyone else deal with this and have an idea on how to overcome it?

I recently bought new running shoes that are pretty comfy. They helped slightly, but not enough. I'll look into running in parks or something without concrete.
