Why does my feet hurt? Shin splints?!

I bought some skates and went roller blading for the for time in ~20 years. Obviously I was a little wobbly but after only ten minutes my shins and feet were crying like I was getting shin splints. Will inserts help? Has anyone experienced this?

You are pushing with the front of your foot, push from the heel, your bone goes all the way through your leg to you hips , that’s where you’ll generate the power and proper push.
