In the Skip Barber book, he described and pictured heel-and-toeing as putting the right foot upright, having the left half on the brake, and right half on the gas, while pivoting your ankle to blip the throttle. Just claifying terms, that's how I understood heel-toe.

I do that on occasion, particularly on 5-2 downshifts, and I do a simple double clutch whenever the car's moving and I need to select 1st. It just seems like it would be possible for your foot to slip off the brake while heel-toeing, meaning you'd coast into another car, or someone's property...that's what I meant by heel-toeing being dangerous. When I do that, I'm really careful not to have my foot slip, but it does work well.
