heal/toe braking

with large feet. rather than using your heel or toe.. i use the left side of my foot to brake, and then roll the foot rightwards to move the gas.. my heel stays on the ground/carpet.... works perfect in all the cars i've been beating the shit out of this week.... S2K.. MR2T... GS-R... 240sx... boxter....
i also wear size 14 wide..

people w/ small feet should be able to actually use the heel/toe method easier. all the videos i see of japanese kids driving keep the toe on the brake and tap the gas w/ their heel...
but, my ankle simply wont twist that way, i cant get it to do it... i just brake w/ half my foot on the pedal and roll my ankle to blip the gas w/ the outside edge of my foot. i wear a size 11. it works great, ive done it in a bunch of cars, but it works the best in my FC. the brakes are soo good in it, the friction point of my brake pedal travel is right about the same height as the gas pedal at rest... and my brakes are like a board, the harder i press on the pedal the better it brakes, but the pedal barely moves... so it stays at the same general height as my gas pedal at rest. 4 piston calipers Pwn you!
left foot braking is aight.... but thats ALOT of work, especially w/ you kicking the clutch in a car w/ an open diff
i like to heel/toe before i go into a turn and have it in gear rather than transitioning/shifting while mid-turn and upsetting the attitude of the car... that way i can either feint, power-off or power over... ive never really tried the clutch kickery method... even in my FC Base model...
