Anniel is an Italian shoe brand established in 1976. Originally, they crafted footwear tailored for ballet and gymnastics, and today their focus has shifted towards creating fashion-forward shoes. I got these as a gift and briefly wore once. They have a cool cutout star pattern throughout. I have several pairs of these shoes as they are really comfortable, great for traveling (they pack flat), and are easy to get on/off. I’m a sz. 7 and can wear these with or w/out socks. If you’re a sz.8 a thin sock would probably be best, just depends on how tight/loose you like to wear your shoes. •Size: 38 •100% real suede •Made in Italy •Unisex
