The Key Points of the New Balance Returns Policy

Like many retailers, New Balance sets a limit on how many days you can keep a product before returning it. All New Balance items must be returned within 45 days of purchase. Here are the most important terms and conditions for returning items:

  • Returned orders must be in new condition, as received
  • All products can be returned unless they are on the non-returnable list

What Are Non-Returnable Items?

The following products are designated as non-returnable:

  • Underwear
  • Face masks
  • Custom shoes
  • Items marked as non-returnable on the product page

New Balance does not allow exchanges if you buy products online. You must return the purchased product and place a new order if you want to make an exchange.

Returning Products to New Balance on Your Own

There are two ways to go about returning items to New Balance on your own:

Ship Your Items Back to New Balance

If you are using the shipping method to send products back, here’s what you have to do:

  1. Go to the New Balance Returns page
  2. Search for your order by order number and shipping ZIP code
  3. Select the items you wish to return
  4. Print out a free USPS label (if applicable)
  5. Pack the item(s) carefully to make sure they’re not damaged during shipping
  6. Take the package to the nearest USPS location and drop it off

You should include a copy of the packing slip in the box. If you are unable to provide the packing slip, you can include your sales receipt that came with the product or a printout of the purchase confirmation email.

In-Store New Balance Returns

You can return items bought on the official New Balance website to retail or factory stores near you. To return items to a store, you must present your packing slip, sales receipt, or purchase confirmation email. You can use the company’s store locator and search by location, store category, or retailer to find a store close to you.

Products bought at New Balance locations can only be returned to stores. Individual store policies will apply in that case.

The New Balance Payment and Refund Policies

As with most retailers, New Balance refunds are made to the payment method you used during the purchase. You will receive a confirmation email once your return is processed and your refund is sent out. New Balance does not refund shipping costs.

Here’s what you should expect in terms of refund, based on your original payment method:

Payment MethodRefund Method
Credit or debit cardThe amount is credited to your account
Gift cardThe amount will be refunded to the original gift card
eGiftA new eGift will be emailed to you

New Balance applies promotional discounts to all eligible products in your order. If you choose to return such a product, you will lose the appropriate portion of the discount.
