I confess after revisiting the subject, the fact that English is not my
first language may have caused more problems with the issue than I had
ever intended through non-shared definitions of foot parts
(specifically, where the ball is). The parts I used in my description
are as depicted here:

Also note that the methods I were taught were NOT specifically deigned
for some form of transmission longevity, but rather for control of
rally vehicles on far less than ideal road conditions at high speeds.
The roll-on/roll-off helps maintain pitch, attitude and stability at
high speeds if done correctly over rather inhospitable terrain. I'll
leave the rest of the theory of why/when/how for an advanced course for
those of you who are in debate on this topic -- do what your
professional instructor teaches you...
On a more comic note:
Look, it's simple, if you don't get it right (heel & toe), you'll know
because this will happen to you in time:
