Left heel stays off the floor to work the clutch. I have smaller feet and there is no way I could control the clutch with my heel on the floor. My floor mat shows this, as there is virtually no heel wear under the clutch pedal, but a serious mark where my right heel sits to operate the gas and brake pedals.

This practice is also why I have had trouble left foot braking when I have tried it in an automatic transmission car. My left foot is just not used to having the heel on the floor. I could get better with practice, but why bother, I drive a manual.
