Each of your toes, except for the big toe, has three joints. The big toe has only two joints. Therefore, the total number of joints in your toes depends on whether we are considering one foot or both feet.
Joint Count Breakdown:
- Big Toe: 2 joints
- Other Toes (2nd - 5th): 3 joints each (total of 12 joints for four toes)
Total Joint Count:
- One Foot: 2 + 12 = 14 joints
- Both Feet: 14 joints/foot * 2 feet = 28 joints
The reference explicitly states: "Even the toes have several joints – the second through fifth have three joints, while the big toe has two." This information is fundamental to accurately answering the question.
