The big toe, also known as the hallux or great toe, is considered toe number 1. It is the innermost toe on the foot.
Doctors and medical professionals use a consistent numbering system for toes, starting with the big toe as number 1 and progressing outwards to the little toe as number 5. This standardized system helps ensure clear communication about toe-related issues and medical conditions.
Example:
If someone has pain in their big toe, they might say "I have pain in my first toe".
