Yes, the foot is made to support the body. It is made in perfect "mechanics" to do so. however, by adding weight that the body is not used to, the weights pull down on the muscles and tendons causing the mechanics to become "off". Therefore, making the ankle more susceptible to injury due to it's new focus on figuring out how to handle the weight. there are a lot better ways to get faster and develop stronger ankles.

What is the purpose of ankle weights?

Avoid them. They seem like they might be a good idea, but they are not. They are useless for strength training because they are too light. They are counter-productive for fitness training because they are too heavy and throw off your natural motion. The same applies to wrist weights. Unless a physician to correct some anomaly prescribes using them, do not bother with them.
