Even if you do not use leg locks, you shoulder understand their concepts so that you do not get caught in one. The toe hold is one of the 5 main leg submissions. Lister states that over half of his submissions are leg attacks, which are especially useful against high level guard players. The technique is simple: make sure you are grabbing the foot in a pinky finger to pinky toe manner. This is the best grip because it is the most secure. If you grip too low on the foot it will be prone to slipping out of your hand. Also worthy of note: Lister uses a kimura grip when he goes for the submission.

It is very important to remember to control the leg you are not attacking when going for a toe hold. Doing so will prevent your training partner from being able to turn, which will prevent you from getting a successful submission. For a toe hold you need to have both legs and both hips controlled, it is the same principal as controlling the shoulders when going for an arm lock.

This is a great submission that anyone can use, no matter what your level of experience is. Leg locks are some of the slickest submissions in modern Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition. If you want to improve your game then this toe hold submission is definitely one you will want to have in your arsenal.
