If your talking about what bones they both have then it would be phalanges.
Feet have:Phalanges(broken into Distal, Middle, and Proximal), Metatarsals, Tarsals(broken into medial cuneform, intermediate cuniform, navicular, cuboid, and lateral cuneform), Talus, and Calcaneus.
The Hands contain the bones: Phalanges(distal,middle,proximal), Metacarpals, and Carpals(broken into hamate, pisiform, triquetral, lunate, trapezoid, trapezium, scaphoid, and capitate)
