Best Shinguards for Ankle Protection?

My right ankle was recently decimated ( 4 days later, I still can't shoot with it, and my run is more like a hop ) in a Soccer match, and I am wonder if I can get shin guards with better ankle protection. Right now I have Brine brand guards with ankle "attachments" the slip on over the ankle and velcro attach to the guard. Maybe there aren't any better ankle protectors out there, but I at least have to look.
Folks, I have Nike and Adidas shin guards, so just saying a vendor name does not help. I need make and model ( e.g. Adidas Predator TP's ) in the answer. Thank You.

Sorry to hear your ankle took a shot. I prefer a minimalistic guard, but when I was younger I had guards with ankle protection that saved me a couple times. Although I'm not sure if these are better than what you have now, these models have among the best ankle protection:

Check out either of these models:

Nike Air Zoom Total 90 Shinguard
Anatomical slip-in guard with a built-in cooling system. Ultra durable K-resin shell with a Zoom Air unit along a tibia. Woven Dri-FIT sleeve. Removable, adjustable dual-sided Dri-FIT ankle guard.

Puma King Exec Guard
The Puma King Shinguard is a lightweight pro player's guard with anatomically molded transparent K-Resin external shell providing optimum protection for the skin.

Good luck -- hope your ankle feels better soon.
