Blood return: This is likely blood flow re-entering her feet from gravity.

Red feet: Tis is typically caused by some form of a vascular issue. Either decreased circulation so when she stands up there is an influx of blood flow into the feet from gravity or a back flow caused by poor venous circulation.
