Yes-they get really swollen-purple and I guess they are small blood vessels showing-have no idea why or when they will swell or get like that because there are other times when I have been on my feet all day and they seem to be okay????

@bettyg81pain, I have recently gotten large areas of purplish red veins all over both feet. I have asked a number of physicians and a podiatrist, etc., what these are. I am told, as you said, they are capillaries and indicate blood pooling in my feet. These seem to be permanent and continue to spread. Two docs have told me to wear compression stockings because the blood is not flowing well back up my legs. (Valve insufficiency.)

Sometimes my feet swell and other times not.
I hope some of this might be helpful to you (?).
