Did my first heel/toe downshift!
I learned pretty well and THEN bought the abovementioned pedals - tehy do help in my opinion. Basically, by allowing a narrower space between brake & gas, you can have more foot on the brake (prevent slipping off!) and/or be a bit more sloppy about foot placement, PLUS be more precise about blipping the gas.
Daily usage.

A couple of questions if I may:
1. What size shoes do you wear?
and
2. Have you had trouble with catching the gas peddle when you didn't necessarily want to with the wider peddle in place?
Thanks for posting. I think you're the first person I've caught that's admitted to having a set of these.

After not too long you instintively know how to avoid accidentally catching the gas pedal. However, I do notice it can sometimes take me a while to 'recalibrate' when I switch to some shoes other than what I usually drive in.

I was curious because I'm an 11 1/2 EE. I was afraid that my long and wide foot might not work too well. We'll see.

Seems to be a bit of experience out there that I can gain from...
Am an older 6'1" and have a size 14 narrow shoe (I've heard them all, so forego the ridiculing).
It's very hard (i.e. painful) to place the left ball on the brake when the right heel is on the accelerator.
Any suggestions? (besides stretching exercises)?
