i can't do the orthodox method of heel/toe, because i can't physically bend my ankle to step on the brake and maneuever my heel to push down on the gas.
so what i do is use the combination of my big toe/left side of my right foot for the brake, and the pinky toe/right side of my right foot for the gas pedal. i pivot my foot width-wise on the brake pedal to push downward on the gas, and my heel stays planted on the floor. so far i've had no problems in any situation where my foot hasn't had enough stablilty on the brake pedal. this system works well for around town driving too, where you aren't trying to put all your foot power into the brake pedal, but instead just want a small push.
