zico I like those pedals...I use puma boots and with naturally wide (size 13) shoes, don't find any of the heel-toe methods difficult, I just had to learn all over again a few weeks ago when I switched to boots instead of my normal low-top canvas vans...
it's funny- with street shoes I literally just had to squeeze the brakes hard enough with just a slight offset and I'd be covering both the brake and gas...now with narrower shoes I use actual technique- rolling the ankle. it seems both faster and more precise for me than the toe-heeling, but I might use both on track.
my 993's pedals are much easier to heel-toe with FWIW

Yes, I installed my FVD 997 one a couple of weeks back..
Looks good and feels good.
As for HT action, it helps on the rolling the right foot a bit due the the slightly wider throttle pedal.
My method , like many ohters, is rolling the right foot...

I roll my foot, which works BUT you HAVE to get the seat set at the right distance for this to work properly , if you are too close it's really hard to do

I roll my foot...learned on a Toyota Yaris in France last year while on vacation. You can heel/toe any car that you can get used to driving, or at least go through the motions on the street so it's natural on the track. Although, my foot has slipped off of the brake a couple of times with the RS while trying to make the connection. I might opt for the rennline's as well.
