Default Does anyone have trouble heel and toe downshifting with the large difference between the gas and

break pedal? Anyone do anything to counter-act this? Thanks.

The solution: Wide shoes.

Default Combination of different pedals and it helps if you have a pair of

clown shoes like Matt wears.

Yes, I prefer Piloti's 'Bozo' line of footwear.

Default I think the Piloti's are actually very narrow...

without aftermarket pedals they would be worse for covering both pedals then a pair of running shoes.

You are confusing "double clutching" and "heel toe downshifting".
