toe

Sock's front tip

A toe is any of the digits at the end of your foot.

The part of a sock or shoe that covers your toes is also the toe.

Toe also describes the lowest part of something, or something shaped like a toe.

From head to toe is a way of saying thoroughly or throughout, suggesting that no part is overlooked.

If you’re on your toes, you are alert and ready to act.

To toe the line is to obey rules and conform to expectations.
