toeprints

Feet's unique patterns

Toeprints are the unique patterns of ridges on the underside of toes, analogous to fingerprints.

Like fingerprints, they can be used for identification, though this is rare in practice.

The term also applies to impressions left by toes: The baby left toeprints on the freshly mopped floor.
