Answer
Hi-tops, or one of those neoprene ankle braces, or they have lace-up ones that are extra stiff.  Stretch, exercise, strengthen up your bum ankle. - even then you may still feel pain.  I still do, but I keep skating anyway.  It's a choice you need to make for yourself, just try and prevent it as much as you can.
