I present one man-sized short-row heel. 
It took a little longer than I’d hoped as I messed up the second half, where you work back along the yarnovers, and had to frog the whole heel back. But second time worked like a charm and even after frogging still probably took less time than knitting a flap.
I hope it’s not just me that has issues with clinging to the familiar when it comes to knitting (it isn’t, is it?!). I learnt to knit socks from a very simple, top-down, heel-flap pattern (time for gratuitous first sock photo):
and it stuck with me. I suspect if my first sock had been a toe-up sock with a short-row heel I’d have avoided top-down socks. It’s good to get away from a comfort zone for knitting and try something else out. After all, it’s only yarn – it can be frogged.
