An ankle guard consisting of a band-shaped padding ( 14), with a substantially U-shaped longitudinal cross-section, which is configured to essentially cover the circumference of the foot in the vicinity of the ankle. A closure device (18) is provided to close the open section of the U-shaped padding, allowing the ankle guard to be put on in a particularly simple manner. The padding (14) comprises an internal section (20), facing towards the foot (12) and an external section (22), facing away from the foot (12) which consist of a durable material and are connected in a fixed manner at the edges of their outer peripheries. A foam cushion (24) is positioned between the internal section (20) and the external section (22). In the lateral region of the foot (26), in the vicinity of the outward-facing ankle-bone, a protective element ( 30), consisting of a semi-rigid material with elastic properties is located between the external section (22) and the foam cushion ( 24), the protective element (30) being smaller than the foam cushion (24). This configuration ensures that the entire lateral foot region at the ankle level, including the ligaments and ankle-joint, are effectively protected against injury.

An ankle pad according to claim 7, wherein the ankle pad is connected to the shoe by means of one or a plurality of press fasteners. 10. An ankle pad according to claim 1, wherein said inner component and said outer component of said pack are comprised of leather, artificial leather, nylon fabric, or PTFE. 11. An ankle pad according to claim 1, wherein said foam pad comprises a foamed polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyethylene or polyurethane. 12. An ankle pad according to claim 1, wherein said protection element is implemented as a curved element. 13. An ankle pad according to claim 1, wherein said protection element comprises polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyethene, polypropene, polybutene, polymethylpentene, or carbon fiber materials or of combinations of these materials. 14. An ankle pad according to claim 1, wherein the ankle pad is connected to a shin guard. 15. An ankle pad according to claim 14, wherein the ankle pad is connected to the shin guard by means of a zip-fastener. 16. An ankle pad according to claim 14, wherein the ankle pad is connected to the shin guard by means of a shin-guard hook and loop fastener. 17. An ankle pad, comprising a strip-shaped pack which has a substantially U-shaped longitudinal cross-section and which is implemented such that it covers the circumference of the foot substantially completely in the ankle area, and a closure for closing an open section of the U-shaped pack, said pack being defined by an inner component facing the foot and an outer component facing away from the foot, said inner and outer components comprising a durable clothing material and being fixedly interconnected along the outer circumferential edges thereof, a foam pad being directly arranged between said inner component and said outer component, and a protection element being arranged in the lateral foot area of the ankle facing outwards between said outer component and said foam pad, said protection element comprising a semirigid material with elastic properties without curing or hardening before use and being smaller than said foam pad, wherein said inner component and said outer component each gradually increase in width from the end edge to the ankle area and gradually decrease in width from the ankle area to the heel area. 18.
