Foot bones, artwork. The toes are made up of the phalanx bones (phalanges), two for the big toe (right) and three for the others. Metatarsal bones in the mid-foot link the phalanges to the tarsal bones. The tarsal bones include the calcaneus bone (heel) and the talus. These bones articulate with the lower leg bones, the fibula and tibia (shin bone), to form the ankle.
