The big toe proper has only 2 bones. Every other toe has 3 bones.

The big toe on each foot has two bones called phalanges: a distal phalanx at the end and a proximal phalanx that connects to a metatarsal bone in the middle foot. All other toes have 3 phalanges, with a medial phalanx between the other two toe bones.
