Really depends on the aircraft. For a student in a PA28 / C172 heels on the floor is always good practice to avoid inadvertently applying the brakes. More experienced pilots may keep the heels up so the brakes are needed if you have to abort a take off.

A lot of aircraft have heel brakes, so then it's probably the opposite.
