I float, lol, my clutch push is pretty long, and as far as doing it with my heel on the ground, ummm, I don't think my leg bends that way, lol.

*sigh* like 75% of the people that have replied to this aren't answering the question.

Heel in the air when pushing the clutch.
On the dead-pedal when not using the clutch.

My heel is on the floor almost always. When I'm off the clutch, I use the foot rest. To disengage the clutch, I swivel my foot off the footrest and let the ball of my foot and my big toe carry most of the effort to depress the pedal. I make a point of smooth, quick engagement of the clutch, suitable to the driving conditions.
