How to say "toe" in Japanese

• 指ゆびJLPT N4approx.Common
  nounCovers a finger or a toe as a digit. Its core sense is 'finger', so for a toe it is normally used with a qualifier such as 足の指 to make the body part clear.
  ドアに指ゆびをはさみました。↗

  I caught my finger in the door.
• 指先ゆびさきCommon
  no-adjectiveMeans the very tip of a finger or toe, and can translate 'toe' when the extremity is what is meant, as in a cramped or painful toe tip. Not the word for the whole toe.

For the body part itself use 指 (normally qualified to distinguish toe from finger); for the very tip of a toe choose 指先, which can also stand for 'toe' when the tip is what matters.
