7 tarsal bones (only talus articulates with the leg bones)
5 metatarsals which articulate proximally with the tarsals and distally with the phalanges.
The hallux (big toe) has only 2 phalanges (the rest have 3) = 14 phalanges in total
The trochlea of the talus articulates with the tibia and fibula
The head of the talus articulates with the navicular bone
The calcaneus articulates with the talus superiorly and the cuboid anteriorly
Talus is like a snail!
