Sorry, I quick-edited on you.

1/2 my shoe stays on the brake, the heel comes up off the floorboard, I angle the foot at about 40-45*, and roll my ankle, blipping the accelerator with the "pad" on my Piloti driving shoe. This is how I was taught at Spring Mountain, and the shoes look like they were designed with it in mind.

We were taught we get a maximum of 3 blips before needing to re-position as the foot tends to slide off the brake. Side-pressure against the brake can help alleviate this.

I am sure there are many different ways to accomplish the same thing, but this is how I was taught.
