Other than considering amputation of your toes and bobbing the ends of your shoes there's nothing to be done about it. All short wheelbase racing frames with 700c wheels do this. The trick isn't to adjust something on the bike. The adjustment needed is in your head. You need to learn to not pedal when turning at slow speeds where the front wheel assumes that sort of angle. Instead if you need some power do a kick then back pedal and kick again where the foot on the side where the wheel is doesn't move forward to where it can strike.

Or just give up on the idea of a short wheelbase racing frame and get a longer wheelbase touring bike.
