A right-foot protection structure such that inward turning of the right foot about the ankle is suppressed during collisions and right-foot protection performance is improved. A floor-section structure (10) serving as a right-foot protection structure is equipped with a tibia pad (16) that is provided at a part on a vehicle dash panel (12) where the right foot (Fr) of the driver (D) is placed. When receiving a compressive load from the right foot (Fr) in the event of a collision of the vehicle, the tibia pad (16) deforms into a rightward downward inclining shape such that the right portion of the area in contact with said right foot (Fr) in the vehicle width direction becomes lower than the left portion, or deforms such that the left portion of the area in contact with said right foot (Fr) in the vehicle width direction produces a larger reactive force than the right portion.
