Human Factors
While braking; my shoe slipped upwards/to the side of the right brake pedal creating unequal pressure on the left brake and causing a sharp veer to the left and off the Runway. I tried to correct but stopped to avoid total loss of control in over correction and instead braking straight ahead; avoiding obstacles. The front half of the plane was over the grass and wheels too deep into the soft field requiring help to push it back/out.
PA-28 student pilot reported loss of directional control on landing roll due to improper brake application resulting in a runway excursion.
