Perfectly normal. It's more braking with the ball of your foot under your big toe, and rolling your ankle towards the gas pedal and popping it with the upper side of your foot above your big toe. That's the area where Piloti reinforces their driving shoes for exactly that reason.
On this link, check out the red area on the side of this shoe. That's your strike zone for the loud pedal.

Just a blip will do it. Just try and closer match the rpm in the lower gear you're going to to the slowing speed of the car.
Downshifting quickly in these light rear-end cars and using the motor to pull you down is a great way to have it swap ends. Oh, and it happens so quick....
