Heel toe
So I can do heel toe at full braking but in regular every day driving where I'm not approaching a corner at speed but just slowly braking into it I can't heel toe. If I try I end up pushing the brake really hard and it's very ugly and not smooth.
Are there any tips for getting smooth with heel toe when not under full braking? |
Then I would recommend doing when you're fully at stop. Feel your brake pedal when you press it lightly and press your gas w heel.
That should help you lil bit |
just gotta work on that ankle rotation.
|
Since you are not fully pressing the brake pedal during everyday driving, I don't think you would have enough leverage and angle to do as smooth as you would during heavy braking.
Maybe try practicing in an empty parking to and see which angle works better for you; using your big toe, 2 toes or entire ball of your foot etc. |
i have no problem heel-toeing virtually any car under any amount of braking. my size 9s seem to work well for it. :D

If major ankle rotation doesn't work for you, wider shoes might help. |
I have never attempted this technique. I did used to practice left foot braking though.

I have wide and big feet, and I have trouble just angling them without hitting the sidewall of the foot area with my heel...
For I while I tried using my toe on the brake and my pinky toe on the gas but it felt risky, like I could slip... I came to the conclusion that I just don't think every foot pedal is designed equally and that you can't heel-toe in every car. Seems to me the gas pedal in my car is a good 4 inches further back than the brake pedal. |

Another thing. What pedals or material on your pedals can you use to prevent slipping with wet feet.
I practice stick shift in my GF civic si because my car is auto. If your feet are even damp the pedals are dangerously slippery. |

Practice, practice.
Also, you don't HAVE to hit the gas with your heel. I find it easier to hit the pedal with the outside of my foot about opposite from where the arch is. |
