Not my experience but YMMV. But i do only get 2 years out of heels so there may be a gait issue involved here. I've had recraftings done by the maker and had resolings done locally and they're both pretty similar ( but i do have a good local cobbler) There's no way I'd get as much mileage out of a topy as you say.
Get rubber overshoes instead...
Is 2 years considered a short life-span?
I bike to work so I got rubber on the soles of most of my boots. Leather soles + modern bicycle pedals is not a good combination even in dry weather.

How bout some taps.
Just starting to get into nice shoes here, but I love the look of a leather sole and could not imagine doing that. Kind of like putting slipcovers on to protect the furniture.
2) Some makers will not resole a shoe after it has been topy'd.
