You'll get the hang of it if you keep trying. Some don't even rotate their foot that far and some do. Some don't even rotate their foot at all and just tilt their foot to hit the gas pedal.

If you can't rotate your foot nor tilt, you can get an aftermarket pedal cover set. I had a Momo one in mine and it makes all the pedals 2 times bigger. Was very easy to do it because the gap between the brake and gas pedals were small.

its fun!... bigger your shoes, harder it is... smaller your feet, easier you can manuever to brake then blip with the heels....you got big feet you have to use the side of your foot that makes it harder.

I double clutch downshift But still not as quickly as a regular heel-toe.

try these pedals if your feet aren't wide enough to use the side of your foot.

you can install them so that there is almost no space between the brake and gas. I think i have about 1/2" of space.

Whether or not you get the pedal, just practice lots.

Ooo i can i can!! Although ever since i got new shoes it's been hard... maybe I just need to break it in. Although I have good racing shoes from puma/sparco ... I think they stopped making those.

True heel-n-toe is coming into a corner trail braking, maintaining your braking pressure and finishing your heel-n-toe before you start to turn into the corner.

Maintaining the braking pressure is key, and the hardest to do.

I have a size 12 shoe so it makes it a bit more difficult. I've learned that instead of twisting my foot over, (standard heel/toe), that using the ball of my big toe to brake and the edge of my small toe to brake accomplishes the same goal. It requires some finesse to make sure you're able to rev in the appropriate amt of time but I've got it down to a science

Heel-Toe is not hard and once you get it it becomes second nature. I even do it in my Jeep on the street, lol
