Cleat covers are sub-£15 and much easier to take on and off than the effort of removing cycling shoes and putting on slip-ons.
They also weigh next to nothing and take up hardly any room, so you can keep them in your jersey pocket to stop your cleats getting filled with dirt/gravel/snow for during roadside piss breaks.
