    Its not so much your feet going sideways but your lower leg. Its tough at first but once you get it, it's second nature. I do it without even thinking about it on the street now, it just happens.

    If are you are having a hard time visualizing it.. it's really not using your toes, its more the ball of your foot on the gas then the heel of your foot blipping the throttle.

    i still say the best way to learn how to heel-toe is to buy a crappy old vw bug.
    make sure it won't idle(this is important). once you finally get tired if it stalling at every light you'll
    start to learn how to brake and keep the motor reved at the same time

    haha, i learned how to heel-toe before i even knew what it was.

    I used to do that until I started wearing racing shoes. That doesn't work so well with those. Also, on other cars the pedals are spaced further apart and you have to heel-toe the proper way.
