Shin splints can easily be fixed, without the need for arch supports. They may not be fixed 100%, but I gaurantee that you will rarely ever get them again if you do the proper exercises. Tehre are specific exercises aimed directly at the front of the shins. These muscles get a workout and become more resilient to pain.
Cheap solution if one cannot afford expensive insoles.

Shin splints are usually the pain resulting from the inflamation from the muscle / tendons being ripped from the shin bone. We got to learn about this in my running clinics at the Running Room. Gotta love injuries.
With proper form, strength training and possibly insoles it can be significantly inproved.
I would suggest going to a pediatrist or chiropractor and they should be able to give you all the info you need to help.

My arches are fallen and this causes my shin bone to be off-center at the kneecap (instaed of pointing up they point in). This in turns puts a lot of pressure on the kneecap and joint and causes me lots of pain if I walk or stand for any thenght of time. The kneecap doesn't track straight and tends to be rather sloppy. Makes for a painfull day after skiing.

Not necessarily being ripped from the bone, just an excess of pressure and strain put on them. Conditioned properly they can learn to deal with this strain.
If the tendons are completely ripped from the bones, then we have a little more serious of an issue, this requires fun surgeries.
