Although there are no specified cures for LOW blood pressure, the knee length socks are recommended for those who have BOTH high and low blood pressure. Maybe the definition given is not in medical terms, but those wearing knee length stockings are doing so for medical reasons.

Many people retort you cannot have both high and low blood pressure
This quote from the Mayo Clinic

Risk factors
Low blood pressure (hypotension) can occur in anyone, though certain types of low blood pressure are more common depending on your age or other factors:
Age. Drops in blood pressure on standing or after eating occur primarily in adults older than 65. Neurally mediated hypotension primarily affects children and younger adults.
Medications. People who take certain medications, for example, high blood pressure medications such as alpha blockers, have a greater risk of low blood pressure.
Certain diseases. Parkinson's disease, diabetes and some heart conditions put you at a greater risk of developing low blood pressure.
Complications
Even moderate forms of low blood pressure can cause dizziness, weakness, fainting and a risk of injury from falls.
And severely low blood pressure can deprive your body of enough oxygen to carry out its normal functions, leading to damage to your heart and brain.

It's certainly possible to experience the symptoms of low blood pressure when you're on medication for high blood pressure and that's more or less what the Mayo Clinic article says, but it's not possible to have both high and low blood pressure simultaneously
Humpty Dumpty please read medications
high blood pressure medications such as alpha blockers, have a greater risk of low blood pressure.
It does not say you can have only one, but not both. I know people who being treated for both at the same time.
But it dismisses the comments Nirish claims that orthotic flip flops are the only reason for wearing back or foot problems.
They are part of a solution, but not the reason they are worn.

They may think that's what they're being treated for, but that doesn't make it so. High or low blood pressure requiring medication is a persistent disease (I'm quoting a medically qualified relative here). The symptoms of low blood pressure are what alpha blockers (which treat high blood pressure) can induce, but stopping the alpha blockers removes the symptoms and the patient no longer experiences the symptoms of a persistent medical condition they never had
It's certainly possible to pick up parasites via exposed feet in Thailand. I take the basic tenet of the "dress for success" mantra to be reliable - the more skin you show, the less seriously people will take you. On that basis we can assume that The Wombat continually gets around in really skimpy clothes
Feminists (and I include the #BlackFrocksMatter movement) nevertheless refuse to accept that if a woman dresses like a slut she'll be treated as a slut
Humpty I do not treat you like a slut, but if you want me to,I will.
You are suggesting patients stop taking alpha blockers to treat low blood pressure??????
You obviously hold some medical qualification? I doubt it.

Medications might also cause a drop in blood pressure. Beta-blockers and nitroglycerin, used to treat heart disease, are common culprits. Diuretics, tricyclic antidepressants, and erectile dysfunction drugs can also cause hypotension.
