I like to chew bubble gum while driving and, since I'm not that coordinated, I can't heel/toe at the same time. It'll ruin my day.

Mine don't look anything like this. My blip ends up being more like what the f my foot catches on the carpet or tranny tunnel.
Yeah mine doesn't look this good either. lol. Maybe the Jim Conforti shoes help. lol

Those of you that are doing it, are you wearing a particular shoe or are you able to do it in any shoes? I find it easier in a show with a more firm sole, like basketball shoes or something like that. It's harder in my Converse or other thin soled shoes. Maybe I'm just not used to it.

I wear Puma shoes. Obviously not real fireproof racing ones but the shoes that are designed to look like those. i find those the easiest because the sole is actually thin and flexible and you get better pedal feel through them in my opinion. I absolutely heel-toe everyday. Very fun once you get the hang of it.

I've never heel-toed before (not sure if my shoes are small enough) but I do like to blip my throttle when downshifting. It takes time but I feel like my clutch gets less wear.

But with the short-throw I shift quick enough when upshifting..
