heel-toeing with a size 12 shoe....?

Hey, any of you guys with a size 12 shoe (or close to it) having problems heeltoeing? It's hard for me, its almost like it works better backwards...like toe-heeling. Any suggestions, tricks, or anything? Are there pedals that you can buy that bolt on in a different spot to spread the brake and accelerator apart? I know there has to be professional racers out there with a size 12 shoe that have solved this problem.
Thanks,
Kev

I wear 12's and 13's and have had no problem heal-tow downshifting. Only time I have problems is when I wear "flip-flop" style sandals when it is hot down here in Houston! Just keep working at it...It will come with time. I usually just use the right upper side of my right foot to do it though. When my foot is on the brake, I just roll my foot to the right a little bit to blip the gas pedal. My heal never actually touches a pedal.

yeah, thats how i've been doing it too, it works, but the other way you can maintain more stable braking.
