Not being a trail centre hound my off-road sketchy riding on the mtb only ever comprises a small % of any mtb ride, such that I prefer to clip out on the sketchy bits and stand on the platform and clip in the rest of the time.
If you come to a dead halt in said muddy pool why don't you clip out and put a foot down?Yeah me. Grippy pedals and boots on the mtn bike. That way if I come to a sudden dead halt in a mud pool, I don't fall sideways into it. I may or may not have heard this happen to someone

It went sideways and the key word is sudden. I also discovered I'm far less adept with my right foot than my left.If you come to a dead halt in said muddy pool why don't you clip out and put a foot down?
I will not tempt the spud-gods by debating the speed at which one can unclip, nor will I discount the fact that sometimes, no matter how long you have, you just can't unclip.
Weight and quality. My cheap Wellgo's are heavier than some other DMR pedals and far less smooth. They are also chunkier and uglier than the DMR's. I think the DMR's are V12's, so not the most expensive ones.
Quality of manufacture. Where they are made and who makes 'em. Quality of bearings and spindle, seals, etc. Quality of anodising is anodising is your thing. Funky design. Ability to rebuild. Replacability of studs. What the market will bear. Et cetera.
In those circumstances odds are you're going down anyway.
Et cetera?
