An age old problem I'm afraid, some trucks are worse than others due to the close proximity of the pedals.

The only thing you can do is to trial various brands of safety footwear and see which ones are best in this situation.

The potential for this to happen is something that I always cover during operator training, citing it as one of the reasons to always allow plenty of time to stop, and never to rush towards anyone or anything.
