actually heel spurs are extra bone that forms from shoes (or ski boots in my case) that don't fit properly. i got a nasty one on my right heel from my boots fitting weird and it hurt SO bad to ski, especially walking on the flat and stuff. like..pain to the point of wanting to barf. all you can really do is wait for them to go away, which takes a few months. don't wear close-heeled shoes unless you have to. good luck
