What to use for more support in my skate?

My new skates fit fine (ball of foot, arch and heel) but just above my heel my ankle narrows. I'm moving from side to side inside my boots. It's like I have no support around my ankle. It's causing me to lean onto edges I don't want when spinning, taking off on jumps and landing them. What would be the best thing I could buy and use other than spending half an hour taping my ankles?

Helps strengthen the kneecap mechanism by applying pressure on the tendon above the kneecap as well. This tends to reduce the forces of the quadriceps on the patella tendon and erosion of the under surface of the kneecap due to a possible misalignment of the quadriceps (Q-angle).
