28: Hello, There are 28 bones when you include the sesamoid bone located in one foot. The human foot is very complex and is an architectural marvel.

Never enough.: The textbook answer is 26, but if you count all the possible extra bones, fused bones or missing bones, I have seen as many as 32. Go figure.

26 (some say 28): Most people say there are 26 regular bones in a normal human foot. Some people add in 2 little sesamoid bones to make 28 total.

26: The tarsal bones are the talus, calcaneus, cuneiform 1 to 3, cuboid, and navicular. Then there are five metatarsals 1 to 5. The great toe has two phalanges, and the other four toes have three each. So that's 7+5+2+12=26 total bones in the foot.
