Toes are the digits of the foot of an animal. Many animal species such as cats walk on their toes, and are described as being digitigrade. Humans, and other animals that walk on the soles of their feet, are plantigrade; unguligrade animals are those that walk on hooves at the tips of their toes.
The toes are, from medial to lateral:
- Big toe (hallux)
- Second toe
- Third toe
- Fourth toe
- Little toe

- Phalanges of the foot
- Finger, for the hand digits
- Hallux

A digitigrade is an animal that stands or walks on its digits, or toes. Digitigrades include walking cats, dogs, and most other mammals, except humans, bears, and a few others (cf. plantigrade, unguligrade). They are generally faster and quieter than other types of animals.

plantigrade locomotion means walking with the podials and metatarsals flat on the ground.
Humans are an example of a plantigrade species; in humans, the podials and metatarsals constitute the sole of the foot.

Unguligrade animals (termed ungulates) are those which walk on the tips of their toes, typically on hooves. Examples include horses, deer, antelope, goats, and sheep. This enables them to extend their stride length and so move faster.

A hoof is the horny covering of the end of the foot in ungulate mammals.
Animals that have hooves walk on the tips of their toes, unlike humans, who walk on the entire foot. There are many animals with hooves including horses, cows, bison, elk, and deer.

The phalanges of the foot correspond, in number and general arrangement, with those of the hand; there are two in the big toe, and three in each of the other toes. They differ from them, however, in their size, the bodies being much reduced in length, and, especially in the first
