fascinating. my entire life i've always used my whole leg. i've attempted to anchor my left heel but never got the hang of it.
this topic reminds me of learning that there are probably 5 different ways guitarists anchor (or don't) their picking hand on the bridge or even hold the pick. some anchor on the bridge, some use their pinky below the strings. it kind of blew my mind because once I learned "my way" when i was young, i just always assumed it was "THE way". I feel like i'd have to strengthen my calves / ankle to pull off the heel anchor. just feels so odd to me because i have 25 years of not doing it that way. |

You are correct in the guitarist thing too (i'm a musician and in a band). My guitarist has gone through multiple different ways of holding his pick until at the end of the day he realized what works best for him is what is just going to be "best for him". Hell Mike Portnoy (hall of fame drummer if you dont know) technically holds his sticks wrong but look where he is. I dont think theres ever a "right" way to doing things. But more a "right for you" way of doing things. |

Size 11.5 shoes here and I have never had a problem, even with work boots. I don't think I use my heel when operating the clutch but can't say I have really paid attention.

Also with BMS clutch stops, not sure if you are tracking already, but some people run into transmission synchro issues after a while using them and some never have issues. Just something to take into consideration when deciding to use a clutch stop or not. YMMV |

When I started learning how to drive MT, I actually started learning using my entire leg, but found that (for me anyway, most likely due to my height aka short legs), doing so just wasn't that precise, especially at red lights/stop signs when I have to go back to neutral and engage 1st. I experimented with my heel planted (didn't even know it was a thing) and quickly found I could adjust the clutch PRECISELY and gain far better control and really enjoyed it. It's been my habit ever since. |
