My leather slippers I used to train myself to heal and toe with in my 944Turbo actaully had a hole worn in the sole where the bottom right corner of the brake pedal wore the shoes. The hole was in the ball of the foot, just to the left of center. So...I used the accelerator with the ball of my foot just a little to the left of the center of the accelerator pedal. When I hit the brakes I did not move the heel of my foot, instead would place the ball of my foot kind of centered on the right edge of the brake pedal. When I had to brake really hard, I would actually angle my foot a little to the left to keep from also pressing the accelerator. By having my heel planted and the ball of my foot on the brake pedal it was easy to tilt my foot to the left and blip the throttle while maintaining the same brake force. I thought that was pretty much how everyone did heel and toe with modern pedal arrangement.

Like I said. With the operation they did on my foot, there just isn't any tiltiing I can do with my foot, either left or right. Any attempt and I just end up hitting the brakes harder. One the streets I just end up braking harder and throwing my head towards hitting the windshield. One the track already braking at the limits I would just end up locking the brakes up and sliding out of the corner.

In driving books I've read it talks about using the ball or toes of my foot to operate the brakes and heels to hit the accelerator and or doing the opposite, braking with the heel and using the toe to blip the accelerator, but says it is again very difficult to modulate the brakes without something touching the floor. The books say this is more difficult because you are using the big muscle in your upper leg to do the modulation instead of your calf muscles. I can't even imaging putting my foot in a position for one end to operate the brake and the other the accelerator. The books show an accelerator/brake pedal arrangement where one pedal is over the other instead of side by side in race cars.
