This is more of an older slang. If you did anything that the Mafia or some other criminal organization didn't like, they'd have you executed -- often by tying weights around your feet and tossing you into the river or ocean. This came to be represented by the image of someone with their feet in a bucket of cement -- thus, cement overshoes.
