Controversial topic - Heel toe makes you slow

[banpei]

I find it almost impossible to heel to toe properly: I have shoe size 13 (47 in EU size) and if I want to do it properly I have to brake with the middle of my foot which is has the least amount of feel of my whole foot... I do blip the throttle after braking to match revs, but I never use the heel to toe combo.

There is an alternative technique with using your instep and then the right side of the foot to blip the throttle so I'm currently practicing that.
