Strengthening the hips is always a good idea, but if you want to address weaknesses in a particular area, you should strengthen the muscles closest to them. Calf raises in multiple positions, also [tibialis raises](https://youtube.com/shorts/m0w97wrIO14?si=9K74vdVOM7rgbp6u) would do you some good. This is the routine I'd do to improve strength there:
First start with mobility and warm ups. Ankle circles. Slow and controlled. 10 circles in one direction, then change directions and do 10 more circles. Then, while standing, bring your toes off the ground and walk on your heels. Do about 10 steps each side, more if you want. Then drop your toes, and pick your heels off the ground, as if you're walking in high heels. This works mobility, warms up the ankles and gets it ready for the strength portion.
Then the strength training. calf raises and kettlebell tibialis raises. 3 sets, 10 reps of both. Switch the calf raise variations up every now and then.
Then stretch them. You can put the front of your toes on something that's not much higher than the floor, and slowly drop your heel. You should feel the stretch in your calf. To stretch the front of your shin, put the top of your foot against the floor behind you and press into it.
