Picked up a pair of Walnut Strands with Dainite. They are replacing an old pair of JCP Stafford wingtips. I have charcoal and dark navy suits which I wearing once or twice a week, as well as jeans and khakis for business casual. I know the Strands are too light to go with everything. I want to pick up another pair of Allen Edmonds to rotate in with the Strands, preferably also with Dainite since I'm in the Northeast. What would be the most versatile second pair?

Save yourself a lot of bother, because you'll get here in the end: Edward Green. Specifically, Chelsea on the 82 last, in dark oak.
