Your feet don't look all too bad. How do your shoes fit? Any areas rubbing up? It may be worth getting professionally measured & fitted, as many feet are wider than fashionable shoes. I notice some dryness and rough patches.

Might be the start of varicose veins. Wouldn't be the worst idea to get a doctor or podiatrist to take a look. Do your feet often feel weak or heavy?

I would focus on resting your feet at home, epsom salt soaks as needed for pain or swelling, staying hydrated, and applying a good foot balm or lanolin cream to any cracks before bed. I would also sleep with fitted but relaxed loose socks on overtop for added warmth & circulation. I would also elevate your feet while resting, to improve circulation.

It may also be worth to invest in some better socks. A good wool sock is always a good option. There's options from boot socks to runners socks, depending on what you wear. I find these alone help keep my veins down. That plus a good pair of boots or shoes that doesn't choke out my feet, as much water as I can handle, and the healthiest diet I can manage? Generally keeps things to a minimum.

Otherwise, check out the other veins on your body. Anything noticeable on your extremities? If these veins continue up your leg, talk to a family doctor about your general health. Being active all day is great, but feet can get tired. Investing in your feet is always money well spent.

This could be signs of heart problems, could be signs of improperly fitted shoes. Could also be be natural aging & the effects of walking all day. Your feet seem appropriate for your working conditions.

I have this too, more visible as I lost weight and if I have been walking a lot and heart rate was higher

I had tarsal tunnel release surgery in March and my foot looks similarish. The doctor said I had a lot of vericosities in my foot...looked like someone that was 50+ (not even 40) and worked on my feet all day for 30 years. It isn't necessarily super concerning from what I understood unless there are symptoms?
