The cheapest way to buy New Balance as a veteran

The military discount is not always the lowest price. Compare it with these before you buy.

A public markdown larger than 15 percent beats this rate at the same starting price. Check the model number first: full price alone does not establish eligibility.

Cannot combine with other offers.

Exchange availability has not been checked.

The exclusion list can change; no holiday exception was confirmed.

A VA benefit that may be worth more

VA clothing allowance

VA may pay $1,053.19 when a device or prescribed skin medicine for a service-connected disability damages clothing. First-time claims and changes to devices or medicines require an application by August 1. Approved recurring awards do not require another annual application when the relevant devices and medicines have not changed.

Apply with VA's online clothing allowance application, or use paper Form 10-8678a (June 2026) and the Claims Intake Center instructions on VA's prosthetics page.

The August 1, 2026 deadline has passed. Follow VA's instructions for the benefit year you are claiming.
