I have a pair of AE Hillcrest shoes and a pair of Park Avenues, each in black. I have Cole Haan slip ons with the vamp, and I have some Ferragamo loafers with the bit and lug sole. I typically wear the lawyer suits to court and the Hillcrest are the heavier shoes of the laceups I have. Rather than getting them recrafted, I would let the local cobbler do the work and wear them on rainy and snowy days. So I need a dress pair of laceups that compliment the Park Avenues. I was tempted to get another pair of Park Avenues, but saw the Weybridge (a shoe that seems like a plain toe but with perforations) or I could go the plain toe route. Ill likely get some from the AE factory store or ebay. I guess the question is, anything wrong with two Park Avenues and rotating them? I am not in court every day and if so, would unlikely be called out for wearing the same shoes every day. I tend to shy away from the loafer look with suits, but I do have the Cole Haans for that.

Don't forget that dark brown works well with navy.
I have a pair of PAs in black and a pair in dark brown in the weekly rotation, either one works with most every suit (conservative blues and dark grays). As said previously, the lasts do vary, so its good to stick with one that fits well.

I vote for another pair of Park Avenues. (I'd say "especially since they're free" but that would be snarky.)
The Park Avenues are conservative to the point of being boring, which means that people who care about clothing will notice "well-maintained black captoes" while people who don't will notice "shoes." Either way you're fine.
Personally, for black dress shoes I alternate between a pair of Park Avenues and a pair of Aldens that look somewhat like the Fifth Avenue.
