It is arguable that you won't ever NEED to heel & toe on the road, but it does sound great when done well and will impress your mates and/or passengers.
The "heel & toe" name is, in many cases somewhat of a misnomer. In my experience, which admittedly, isn't as extensive as many of the contributors on here, it is the ball of the right foot on the brake and the side of the foot blipping the throttle. If you look an most driver shoes, they have a reinforced area on the outside of the right shoe for this purpose and it is nowhere near the heel. I suspect you would need a swivel joint in your knee in order to actually use your heel.
