First, don't try to actually use your heel. Use the ball of your foot on the brake, and the outside of your foot on the throttle.
Second, shoes matter, don't expect to be able to easily switch between skateshoes and cowboy boots!
Third, the only car I know of that has this for a manual transmission is the 370z. I expect that has a bunch of extra sensors in the gearbox to figure out what gear you're aiming for and so would not get my hopes up for the flashpro to simply enable this. The Evo and GTI auto's will take care of this which is maybe where the confusion comes from.
Finally, when you perfect it yourself, it is very satisfying, but be careful! Don't blame anyone but yourself if you accelerate into a lamp post instead of slowing down for a corner :-)
