Leather soles don't last forever, unless you only ever wear them indoors. If you live wear it rains or walk on sidewalks a lot, nice leather soles will last less than rubber soles. Also, you probably won't want to resole more than 1-3 times. I love my nice dress shoes but lets not pretend that they are worth it purely on longevity.
