My favorite New Balance model is the MW410 Walker which, for some inexplicable reason, they have now dropped. I decided to take a chance on the MW411 Walker, which is very close to the 410 in appearance. They fit ok, but on close examination differences in the stitching pattern, materials used and tread-cut can be seen. In my experience New Balance quality has always been uneven. It remains to be seen if the 411's are as sturdy and durable as the model they replaced or if the changes simply reflect cost-cutting measures that will work to the detriment of the brand. Also, New Balance likes to brag that their shoes are made in the US. A more honest statement would be that SOME of their shoes are made in the US. These new 411's were made in Vietnam.
