Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I wasn't aware they even made them! It seems like a cool idea but the covers I just found on the internet still expose the rear 2 "pontoons", which wear the fastest for me anyway. My guess is that they wouldn't help very much, but I have no actual experience using any sort of cleat covers.

I have a pair. The rears are exposed, but don't actually touch the ground.

Did you get the Kool Kovers from that website, or did you find them cheaper?

I bought mine on ebay. Can't remember how much I spent, but it was probably about $5 USD.
