I have a Viking 500, everytime I tried a cheaper "no- name" foot it ended up in the trash within a very short period of time. I even tried some feet made for White machines as at the time this model was being produced , Viking was making machines for White..... and no such luck ... they where off by a milimeter or two causing the needle to skim the foot.
FYI - the new Viking Walking foot as a interchangable foot on it so you can have a regular walking foot , or a stitch in the ditch walking foot. The actual foot guides come off the walking part ( if I am expaining this right). They really are a great improvement and have been around now a couple of years.
