I think they're things like pizza cutters stuck to the heels of your feet. I could be wrong, in which case I have no idea what the things I'm thinking about are!

You will get lots of info if you google for
"bony spur" sole of feet


Here is one result:


Calcaneal spur: A bony spur projecting from the back or underside of the heel bone (the calcaneus) that often makes walking painful. A calcaneal spur is also called a heel spur.
Spurs at the back of the heel are associated with inflammation of the Achilles tendon (Achilles tendinitis) and cause tenderness and pain at the back of the heel that is made worse by pushing off the ball of the foot.
Spurs under the sole (plantar area) are associated with inflammation of the plantar fascia (the "bowstring-like" tissue stretching from the heel underneath the sole) and cause localized tenderness and pain made worse by stepping down on the heel.

Now I feel silly.


I'm sure there's a song that goes 'when a knight won his spurs in the stories of old'...........

there is, but they tend to be attached to your shoes!!
I was thinking like you, indian. Little round jingly things tied to your boots. For poking your horse.
