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.
