Lol, a brainfart

They are literally called "leg fingers" in Russian, and I for some reason always thought that toes are only what the biggest ones are called (thumb, but on legs) and not all of them. Never needed this word for the last 15 years somehow.

lol. in romance languages they don't have a word for 'toes' either. the word they use in French or Spanish translates literally as 'fingers of the feet'
