Like I said, to protect your feet from the element (rain,wind etc.). But when the outside temperature is freezing you'll be loosing most of feets heat through your cleats.
I dont worry too much how overshoes look, as I have a helmet cover. That together with the rest of the winter lycra, serves to make me look like a dildo on wheels. I cant imagine anyone getting as far as noticing my feet :)
