Foot position on throttle
I'm wondering if I tilt my foot too much. I usually have my heel almost under the brake and my right foot is tilted about 30-35 degrees clockwise from vertical.
How about you?  |

A bit tilted here. Have size 12 4E feet so it is a little uncomfortable any other way.

I'll need a protractor to figure out what 30-35 degrees looks like, but heel under the brake pedal sounds about right

Straight up and down, unless I'm heel/toe-ing.

Way tilted, my heel is under the brake petal.
I heel/toe most downshifts, so it helps.
