You can do it if you want some extra elemental resistance. A fire infused Black Iron Greatshield will have almost 100% fire resist, for example. Of course, it loses other defenses in trade.

It can also be a good idea if you really want to bash someone in the face. I'd imagine the Spiked Shield or Pierce Shield might do well with the right infusion, for example.
