You can pick up heel toe when you're comfortable rev matching.

Nothing says you have to down shift thru every gear. If you're planning to take a corner up ahead in 2nd there's nothing wrong with letting the car slow down with your engine braking and rev match into 4th and continue to slow down with engine braking and rev match into 2nd before making the corner. Heel and toe is something to worry about only if you're hot for racing. It's something I know how to do but I can't recall the last time I ever did it.
