Actually, I would stick with your original advice to stay on your toes, although make sure that they are on the rudder not the brakes. Your toes are probably more sensitive than your heels when feeling and making the small, quick adjustments that are usually needed in gusty crosswinds. Not sure why your toes woul dbe on the brakes at this point anyway.
