Blister from my new safety shoe brand

Finally received both pairs of merlin steel toe capped shoes As I wanted to change
My shoe brand for a little something different - the brown pair gave me blisters on the heals on day one - sadly first blister I had in 20 odd year's from a new pair of safety shoes 2nd pair would have been better to have tried first but sadly they to have given me a blister on the big toe. So looks like I may have to buy the Himalayen shoes from India as they seem not to give any issues. A bit disappointed in the merlin range

Absolute joke of a company I ordered 3 items some trousers some safety boots and a hard hat. I work away with work so only home to receive items at weekend. Came home the following week to only have received the trousers. I called Merlin and asked where my other items where to be told there had been a picking issue and would be sent out first thing Monday. Bit late as I’m away again all week. Anyway the following week yet again I was missing another item my safety boots. Called them again to be told another picking issue at warehouse. I was told they would be sent out following week however I had been now waiting 3 weeks so can’t wait any longer. Asked for refund. AVOID THIS COMPANY!
