Yeah I usually do it unless I feel tired and lazy.
All you need to do is think of it like this. When you approach a turn, naturally, you brake, decelerate, take the turn at a desired speed (usually less than the speed of the approach) and then accelerate out of it.
The only difference during a heel-toe shift is while you decelerate on your approach, you downshift, allowing the RPMs to be where they need to be to allow for, in racing, a fast acceleration out of the turn, or in normal driving, a non-bogging acceleration (thereby putting less strain on the engine components as well by allowing the RPMs to be in the "normal" range and not too low).
All you need to do, is:
1. Brake smoothly
2. While braking, disengage the clutch and keep the pedal in the down position.
3. Keeping the TOE/BALL of your foot to remain on the brake and constantly/smoothly braking, use the HEEL of your foot and tap the gas, bringing the RPMs up to where they will be when the clutch engages and the engine RPM matches the vehicle's current speed.
4. Once the RPMs are at their optimum, downshift into the desired gear (usually one gear lower than the current). Engage the clutch again. If done correctly, the downshift should have been incredibly smooth and you should have felt no jolt or violent bump.
There is also another form of the heel-toe downshift that requires a combination of the heel-toe manuever and double-clutch manuever. Basically during the downshift, the clutch is engaged and disengaged twice, exactly as it occurs during a double-clutch downshift except the toe of the right foot remains on the brake constantly.
