An ankle supporting device, particularly usable in sports shoes having an upper or an innerboot (502), provided with padding, and a sole. The device is constituted by a structural element that includes a counter (505) that affects at least the regions of the heel and of the plantar arch; a wing (511) protrudes from the counter and is associated with the upper affecting the lateral rear regions of the foot. The device allows to protect the ankle against possible sprains caused by excessively angled movements and in particular for wide lateral flexing angles. <IMAGE>
