Foot Size & Technique

The pedals were too far apart for me stock and this resolved the problem. Thanks for your advice, but I'll stick with the technique that works best for me.
I know this issue has been flogged to death but I think the size of the individual is another important decision regading the technique that is feasible. Saw a drift video with a japenese driver and they had camera on the floor showing his heel toe technique. The point here is his feet were very, very small which obviously enabled him to more readily apply this method. So what technique do you think Shequille Oneill (SP?) would use with his size 15-16 shoe?
