Here's a video of Naveira where you can clearly see him stepping heel first with his left and toe first with his right.In a class, no less. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgnjOZxVsCw
Obviously, when you step heel first, you can make a larger step. Beginning leaders often don't realize that they can make a way larger step forward than their followers can do backward. Also there's a tendency in beginning leaders to shift their weight back on their heels with causes them to step toe first and only then move their body, confusing the lead. That's why I tell all beginners to keep the weight on the balls of their feet and step toe first. Sergey May you be forever touched by His Noodly Appendage...
