"heel & toe" is just an expression. Use whetever part of your foot that enables you to get the job done. As long as you are able to rev match and not botch the shift, all is OK

 

I don't know about everyone else, but my heel has almost no pedal feel. Also, twisting my foot to put my actual heel on the gas pedal wrecks my pedal feel and makes me feel like my foot is going to slip off the brake pedal. I simply roll my foot to the right while braking for heel-toe blipping, and the gas pedal was too far to the right for my foot to hit it while wearing the skinny Adiddas shoes I use for fun driving. The Razo pedal extender did the trick, although if anyone drives your car like mechanics and such, make sure you tell them about it. I've had a couple people step on the brakes and rev the engine sky high with stupid looks on their faces because they were pressing on both pedals at the same time.

 

Yes, I know that.

I was just saying some cars must need to do heel and toe to brake and revmatch on downshift.

Some cars like our Evo is much better done with ball and side of the foot which I find it much more initutive and easier than the traditional heel n toe method.

Some cars like the VW corrado and Merkur XR4ti have such a stupid pedal arrangement that nothing would work. The gas pedal are tiny and sit way behind the brake pedal. I have a friend who tried to install some longer aftermarket gas pedal to do heel and toe but he can no longer go WOT because the bottom of the gas pedal would hit the carpet preventing him from fully depressing the gas pedal. So he has to sacrifice one or the other.

 

BTW Zee, have you check the Ralliart pedals? My stock Mitsu sports pedals set is pretty slippery when my shoes are wet. So I was think of getting these pedals, and maybe you can buy them and do testing for me.

 

I have a set of Momo pedals that work great. I too did not like the stock placement. These made rev-matching much easier for me.

For me, I think the ball/side of foot is better. You can just plant your heel on the floorboard and pivot from the throttle to the break without lifting your leg and then tap the throttle as needed. The motion is more compact and consistent than lifting your heel up and rotating to hit the throttle.
