Default how to heel-and-toe in S4?

Hi,

I can heel-and-toe pretty well in some cars (E36 M3 for example), but I can't do it in the S4. And my feet are big.

Anyone have recommendations for the best way to do it? Or recommendations for pedal covers to get?

Thanks

I find the pedals not to be alligned quite right for efficient heel/toe.

Same problem here with my A4. I hate it. I try angle-ing my foot a little more than usual so that my foot can hit both pedals. I got some new shoes that seem to have a wider cross-section. It seems to help some.

Default I find that rolling my foot works better.

I press the brake pedal with the ball of my foot and roll the side of my foot to the accelerator. I have a 9 1/2 EEEE shoe which helps me get both pedals :-) Works great for both street and track.

I have knock knees and couldn't possibly do a true heel-and-toe in an Audi.
