In English, they aren’t. Toes and fingers are both digits or phalanges, but not toes or fingers.

I acknowledge that you are right, however I also acknowledge that I don’t like it and I rather be wrong about it
Language created a thing where Spanish speaker have twice the finger than English speakers.

You can always call them foot fingers in English if you like, although you might get some strange looks.
