Pronunciation: [kˈɛpt tˈə͡ʊz] (IPA) 
The spelling of "kept toes" is quite straightforward when using IPA phonetic transcription. "Kept" is pronounced as /kɛpt/, with the "e" being pronounced as a short "eh" sound. "Toes" is pronounced as /toʊz/ with the "o" being pronounced as a long "oh" sound and the "e" being silent. When these two words are combined, the result is /kɛpt toʊz/, which may be easy for some to spell but can still cause confusion for others.
"Kept toes" is not a phrase or term widely recognized in dictionaries. However, "toes" and "kept" can be defined independently:
Toes are the small, flexible, and usually pointed structures at the end of each human foot. They are connected to the foot by joints, and their purpose is primarily to provide balance, support, and assist in walking and running. Humans typically have five toes on each foot, known as the big toe, second toe, third toe, fourth toe, and pinky toe, or the hallux, index toe, middle toe, ring toe, and little toe, respectively.
"Kept" is a past participle of the verb "keep," which means to have or retain possession or control of something. It implies the act of preserving, saving, or maintaining something in a particular state or condition. "Kept" could also signify to store or hold an object securely and ensure its safety or preservation over a period of time.
When used together as "kept toes," it seems to lack a widely known definition. It could possibly be interpreted as toes that have been maintained, cared for, or protected. However, without further context or usage, it remains ambiguous and might not have a specific meaning in conventional English.
