Superior & inferior view of the tarsus (ankle)

Description
The tarsus (ankle) contains 7 tarsal bones. These are the talus, calcaneus (heel), navicular, 3 cuneiform (medial-1st, intermediate-2nd and lateral-3rd) and the cuboid.
The metatarsus (foot bones) is made up of 5 metatarsal bones. Just like the metacarpals, they are numbered I through V (1–5) starting with the big toe. They make up the sole and dorsal surface of the foot. The proximal ends articulate with the 3 cuneiform bones and the cuboid. The distal ends articulate with the proximal phalanges.
The phalanges are arranged exactly like those of the hand. The big toe has a proximal and distal phalanx and the other toes have a proximal, middle and distal phalanx.
