And I can't physically heel-toe with my knee, so that part is out of the question.
Yeah, I actually have a similar problem but I blame the type of gas pedal for the reason I can't do a real heel-toe. My knees do get in the way, but I think I could adjust the seat and steering wheel for a racing application if I had to. I blame the gas pedal instead because I find it difficult to blip high enough (position-wise) on the pedal to actuate it. I have to rotate my foot excessively to get my heel up that far since it is incredibly difficult to feather the gas pedal when you're pressing at the bottom of the pedal where the fulcrum point is. For DD heel-toe, I generally just fat foot it with my size 13 boots

I can't physically turn my foot on my right leg far enough that direction to heel-toe properly.

My knee functions though, so I'm not going to go in and have surgery on this one (most likely full knee replacement).

I've had surgery twice on my left, I don't want to go through it again if I don't absolutely have to.
