It is usually caused by walking on a hard surface such as asphalt or sidewalk. Try stretching before walking. Lean your hands against the wall and stick your foot pointed up against the wall. It helped me when I ran track in highschool (I had terrible shin splints). I also like to grab my foot behind me and pull it up towards my buttocks, it really a hamstring stretch but it feels really good on the shins and ankles.
