What does "usque ad talones" mean? It appears in Balzac's 'Pere Goriot'?

Question

Ch. 'Private Lodgings'

The spelling is as in the translation.
There is a similar translation with the same spelling online. (google the phrase)

Answer 1

Are you sure of the spelling?

Usque ad talos

Means "all the way to the ankles" in Latin.

Can't find a word with talon- as a root.

Heel is calx, calcis.

ADDED: It's a mix of French and Latin. The 'usque ad' is Latin, and 'talones' is French - that would mean

'all the way to the heels'

Answer 2

way down to the heels.
It's in Latin!
