Just slide your foot a bit to the side have the left side of the ball of your foot on the brake and the right side of the foot hit the gas. You do more of a rolling motion with your ankle and use the right edge of your foot to blip the throttle. Works much better than trying to rotate your whole leg to try to hit the gas with your heel.
WRONG.

heel toe actually uses exactly what it says it does, its just some people have fat or long feet or cant get their legs to do the right thing so they "fat foot" the pedals, which is what you are referring to.

I personaly dont belive anyone whos says that they are physical prohibited from heel toeing....There is a butt load of room down there you just gotta know how to position your legs...Like I said earlier, I get more room for my knee when I move to heel toe because of the way you turn your leg, and you can always slide your foot further up the brake pedal if its to long...

I double-clutch a lot now and it makes downshifts feel like the gears aren't even there when I get it just right. :D
