An ankle supporting spat according to the disclosed embodiment fits over the shoe of the wearer. A sole portion on the bottom of the spat overlaps the central portion of the shoe's sole. A top portion partially covers the shoe, ankle, and leg of the wearer, and is joined to the rand. The spat is open at both the heel and the toe so that the heel and the toe of the shoe protrude from the openings, exposing the front and rear cleats. A set of straps bind the spat to the wearer's shoe, ankle, and leg, and provide support for the ankle and other tissues. The particular amount, direction, and location of the support provided by the spat may be altered by changing the winding and arrangement of the straps.
