Here is their site:

There is an earlier thread about these HERE in regards to friction surface
Browsing through it it looks like they offer in different styles. There are threads around with people showing their foot positioning and it looks like it can infact help with perfect rev-matches.
There are a lot of styles. I may be interested in getting the Grid Pyramid as it provides the most friction.

I use to wear big clown shoes at the track. You know then ones, they flap when you walk. Huge things, that were great for heel and toe. You couldn't help it. But all the other guys teased me, and the red rubber nose started to chafe under my helmet (it all came as a set), and the big white frowny face would smear when I would sweat.
So I bought a set of racing pedals like the ones shown above and just scooted them a smidge closer together when installing. That and a pair of racing shoes and voila, no more teasing, I can still heel and toe and I save money on therapy! FTW (because clowns are scary).

I just move my right knee inward and my heel goes right on the gas its pretty simple, it took me all of 30 sec to figure it out. Honestly its harder to do heel/toe in a Lotus Exige (drove my friends).

*edit* I don't have to wear clown shoes. I only wear dunks/sb/barefoot in summer.

My guess is you are actually trying to "heel-toe". You don't have to actually heel one pedal and toe the other. Another method which is still considered heel-toe is using the left side of your foot for the brake and the right side for the gas. You push the brake as much as you need, adjust as necessary, and roll the right part of your foot onto the gas to blip the throttle. It takes getting used to but if you practice it every time you drive, you'll have it down in no time. Like I said, I drive multiple cars a day, and I do it with every one of them, including every time I drive my car. Makes it second nature so when you actually need it, you don't have to think about it.

Try using the side of your foot and not actually your heel. I had a friend who used to do the same thing I told him that and it made a huge difference for him.... now left foot braking forget he can't do it.

I use the side-of-the-foot method too, but I've seen videos where the guy actually rotates his foot counter-clockwise so his entire heel is on the throttle. I suppose that if you're flexible enough, then that's the ideal way to heel-toe because it seems that you'd have more control over both brake and throttle given that you can probably press the throttle down farther than if you were just using the side of your foot.
