Try smearing lard all over your bare feet.
It makes heel & toeing so much smoother.
Also makes for a useful snack while you wait for the wrecker truck & Paramedics to get to you.
Alternatively, you could break with tradition & use foot wear !
I never understood how people are able to perform H&T on a car with a high-placed brake pedal and a floor mounted throttle pedal
I never used any other method than side-flipping in any BMW. With the heel-toe method, one is forced to control the throttle by touching only the bottom part of the pedal, which sucks as its floor mounted ( lever-effect), whereas the brake pedal is hinged so high that you can only use toes
The term "Heel-Toe" is a bit of an anacronism now, for the exact reason that you state. Most people (me included) who say that they heel-toe, do in fact just blip the throttle with the side of their feet and just call it heel-toe.
I believe that the term actually came from very old cars where the brake pedal was on the outside, and the throttle pedal was in the middle, and you would brake with your heel while bilpping the throttle with your toe.
Having said that, my old Subaru had the throttle pedal too far away from the brake pedal and the only way I could blip the throttle in that car was to twist my leg and use my heel!

Not all of us have feet so long that the toes are in Rotterdam & the heel is in the Utrecht.
No, I toe the brake pedal & blip throttle with side of foot but I do this with footwear on.

Most of us develop a state of taste that exceeds Adidas around the age of 17.
Some Essex residents fail to understand the natural evolution of taste and row upstream by buying an amount of adidas garment to make up for the rest of the countrymen that DO have a sense of esthetics.
Your case is a clear example of taste growing inverted parallel to your age.
