That's why I use the right part of my forefoot to blip the gas.

Again, both way do the same as long as the downshift is done smoothly.

But regarding the concern from OP, I believe the thickness and material of the shoes play a big role of how we can 'feel' the pedal.
yah, i know exactly wat you mean because ive already experienced this since 9yrs ago when i bought my 2003 cooper-s. it had the floor pivot type 'organ' pedal.

shoe thickness changes does make it difficult to hit the sweet spot on the clutch at times, but he's driving AUTOMATIC.
