Also... maybe a few people trolling here, heel-toe does not actually involve your heal. I think the term itself comes from tanks or pre-WWII or something where you actually put your heel on one pedal and hot the other one with your toes. ... someone once told me you had to do this with the 2006 GTO, but anyways. This is part of the enjoyment of a manual transmission to me. I'm sure you can be as fast, or faster with the computer doing everything for you though.

You can roll your foot (which is what I assume you do) or turn your foot using the heel on the gas pedal, ball/toes on the brake.
Which I do depends on the cars pedal (placement/shape). It's much easier to roll ones foot vs turning though, with some pedals though it's just not possible to do so, at least in nomex shoes. For HPDEs I just use skate shoes or similar and never have an issue rolling my foot vs having to turn the foot inward.
