Heel Toe?

I don't think you use heel&toe so you "dont slow down", because when your braking into a corner, you [u:2295d94e4a]are[/u:2295d94e4a] slowing down, and you never brake with your engine when driving hard - its the brakes that should exactly dose your stopping power. Heel toe is used so that the difference in gear speeds in a downshift doesn't lock the proppeled wheels and fucks up your braking ballance. This is best felt on slippery surfaces (rain and snow), speed into a corrner, brake and let the lower gear go without the throttle blip - rear will lock, putting you into a slide. With the throttle blip, gears match nicely, and you get much smoother, non-jerking braking.

So this technique is best used for racing, when you want smooth tranitions/braking/etc.. but the absence of this technique can be used to initiate a drift.. although its not very nurturing for your driveline.

here's a funny but clear video on the subject:
