Good drivers know that blipping the throttle between gears in a downshift to speed up the engine to match the tire speed keeps the wheels from locking and stops the back end from getting loose. Heel-and-toeing simply combines blipping the throttle with braking.

On modern cars, the driver uses the right side of his foot to blip the gas and the left side of the same foot to push the brake.
