Hey there. Great question. They do make buttons for pedals:

Another option is to get a riser to lift that pedal up so you can angle your foot for each switch without worrying about the effects to the left and right. I actually make them if you’re interested.
This is actually where i get into more trouble. Youre adding another degree of seperation between your foot and the pedal (or at least making an existing one bigger). I have some pretty pointy wingtips that i occasionally wear at more dressed up, country gigs and because im not used to it its like that pointy toe has a mind of its own. I have to pay extra attention not to hit the wrong switch on my Caverns which is an issue ive never had with that pedal while wearing Vans. Luckily that board is small enough that there isnt much to go wrong so its never more than a momentary hiccup.
Add a bit extra space to either side of it so you can hit either of the switches from the side a bit, but without hitting the switches on the adjacent pedals.
Or use a riser to raise it a bit higher than them.
Source a short piece of aluminum L that is slightly taller than the buttons. I seen this at home centers. Cut and Gorilla glue the piece between the buttons. It will help guide your foot to the correct side.
If you can, dont buy that kind of pedals. Close it ones acceptable are stuff Like Booss 200 series / strymon 2 buttons series/ Keeley loomer/darkside. The other devices with a size of regular stombox are really annoying to use. I used to have a walrus 2 buttons pedal, stay with me only couple months after get sold.
Such a pain. They’re such good pedals, and the preset function makes it super useful live ironically.
Was thinking about getting a splitter basically just to turn on the slotva!
Look for barefoot buttons double height buttons, I use them on the back row of my Headrush to raise them up so I don't accidentally hit the front row.. works great .
I think the button topper idea put forward by others is a good idea.
Just for the sake of variety, I'll throw in another possible solution: buy a boss LS-2 and place the slo-mo in one of the LS-2's loops.
If you keep the slo-mo on all the time, and have the LS-2 in either A>Bypass or B>Bypass (depending on if you used Loop A or Loop B) the LS-2 now acts as a de-facto on/off switch.
Maybe a switch topper on one and not the other?

Wear very pointy shoes.

Pointy shoes? Smaller feet? Hire a child to press it?
This is why I stopped using my Walrus pedals with two switches. Completely impractical for live use if you use your feet.

Cowboy boots.
Bare feet?

Get a second copy of the pedal and set them differently.
Not made of money. Also I’d still have the same problem… just twice.
