A good quality pair of figure skates provides *at least* as much ankle support as any pair of hockey skates. You can get figure boots that feel like steel, if you are so inclined. However, you must select boots of adequate quality and correct fit so that the boots help your ankles stay erect as you condition your ankles and balance to control the skates. Most cases of "weak ankles" are due either to cheap department store skates, or to floppy, worn-out or oversized rental skates.
