Toes are known as phalanx (or individually as phalanges) made up with 3 phalanges for all the toes except the big toe which only has 2 (distal and proximal) not the middle phalanges. They are simply referred to by number, starting from your big toe (also known as the hallux): First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth.

Don't confuse the phalanges of the foot with the metatarsals (which are the instep of the foot), the foot is divided into three main parts, the phalanx, the metatarsals and the tarsals.
