This invention discloses a modular, graded, cushioned ankle support structure for children's shoes, comprising: a heel shaping cup for calcaneal guidance, the heel shaping cup having a guide extending downward along the heel counter of the shoe, and a connecting member bending inward relative to the guide and extending into the shoe; the heel shaping cup circumferentially surrounds the heel counter; the guide includes an outer layer, a middle layer, and an inner layer arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside; and a support mechanism disposed on the inner surface of the shoe facing the heel and connected to the connecting member. When the support mechanism is compressed, the pressure is converted into an inward tightening force on the guide through the connecting member, thereby guiding the calcaneus. This invention, through the coordinated operation of the guide, connecting member, and support mechanism, converts pressure into an inward tightening force on the guide when the support mechanism is compressed. When force is applied to one side, a larger directional tightening force is generated, triggering guidance in advance, effectively limiting abnormal calcaneal displacement, improving heel stability, and significantly enhancing the support and guidance effect on the calcaneus.
