Wheelie through the puddle.

You beat me to it. This has to be the only way other than riding slowly or wearing over shoes.
 
I go with the wet feet if puddles too deep option (though I have been known to stop and empty the water out of my waterproof shoes/boots after a really deep puddle :whistle:), but usually find that waterproof shoes/boots are fine up until that point... then I just rely on wooly socks to keep said wet feet warm and always have a complete change of clothes & footwear in the car for afterwards... (you learn to curse waterproof boots/shoes when the water gets in...)

My OH uses sealskin soaks as well as his waterproof boots (mostly because they are not very waterproof anymore).

I am thinking soggy feet is the most likely ongoing scenario on a proper muddy trail, although winter boots are a good but not cheap option. Last few wet winter trail rides have ended up with very wet but not cold feet. The merino socks probably helped.

+1 for the old placcy bags in the shoes. Looks a bit wierd but works ok [works on the road too].

Yes I have used plastic bags and trainers on an old MTB when out in the snow.
Works really well

Ps I have also used bubble wrap under a racing vest when riding early or late season tt's. Just cut a hole for your head and tuck it in.
