 TCS Racing - Racing Tips - Heel And Toe
There are two parts to the heel and toe technique, the actions you need to perform and a process called rev matching (also explained in double declutching).
Heel and Toe is a driving technique that allows you to smoothly brake and down shift at the same time.
Note, if you plan on using heel and toe you may want to have your pedals adjusted so the brake pedal is level with the accelerator when it is fully depressed.

 Lane's SCA - Shifting
This is where heel and toe (ball and edge) operation of the brake and the gas is required.
Actually, on most modern cars it's better to use the ball of the foot (under the big toe) on the brake pedal and the edge of the foot (about halfway between the little toe and the heel) on the gas pedal.
"Heel and toe" refers to the right foot position as it operates both the gas and the brake pedal at the same time.

It is worked flat on two needles for the double-mitered toe and heel, and in the round for instep and leg.

 Aligning the hoof parallels of the heel and toe.
Without the alignment of the heel and toe, the angle of the hoof remains distorted and not real, hence using the angle-measuring contraption on such foot is in vain and the reading is inaccurate.
In cases where the toe is bulged (it is not always the case) it is important to straighten the toe first, which will usually straighten the heel as well.
The extension of the shoe under the heel should be kept at normal, only slightly extended, because the over extension of the shoe at the heels could have similar side effects as often seen in the use of egg bars, which is collapsed (underrun) heel.

 TurnFast : Heel-Toe Downshift
Then the accelerator is blipped, while the shifter is in neutral (again with the heel, while the ball of the foot continues to brake), the clutch pressed back in, the shifter placed in the lower gear, and the clutch released.
Meanwhile, the heel is rotated back off the gas, the ball of the right foot has still been braking, and has been easing off as the car approaches the turn-in point.
Even though the right foot is busy braking, you swing your right heel over the gas pedal and give it a short push (a "blip" as it is called) to rev the engine while the left foot also lets out the clutch (the ball of the right foot is still on the brake).

 Car and Driver Magazine - CARandDRIVER.com Glossary of Terms -
To perform a heel-and-toe downshift, the driver brakes with the toe of his right foot and: while continuing to brake: uses the heel or the side of the same foot to blip the throttle and raise engine rpm as he downshifts.
The sequence is as follows: brake with the right toe; depress the clutch with the left foot; shift to neutral; while continuing to brake, blip the throttle with the side or the heel of the right foot to raise rpm; shift to a lower gear; let the clutch out; release the brakes.

 heel toe downshifting...but on a bike - R6Messagenet.com
I don't really agree with heel and toe so much as for slowing down the car, but it is used to match the engine speed so not to upset the balance when entering into a turn.
when heel toeing a car, i use the ball of my foot on the very right side of the brake and then roll my ankle over so that the side of my foot is blipping the throttle.
oh yah, i personally find it hard to heel and toe, especially on the street because you don't need to apply all that much brake, so the two pedals are actually really far apart in depth.
