Assuming it is their lengths that you want to measure, centimetres for your feet and millimetres for your toes.

I would advise consistency - use one or the other but not both. Mixing them like that is not good practice, and you won't find such mixtures used in laboratories and workshops.

Strictly speaking the metre and the millimetre are the "Preferred Units" but the SI tolerates the centimetre for everyday things like clothes sizes. Please don't shoot the messenger: the metric system and its SI offspring were never designed around human proportions!
