Years of watching teens walking around with the cuffs of their pants dragging on the ground gave North Las Vegas resident Stacey Wells an idea.

Wells, who is already the inventor of a back support and harness system called the Iddo Back Support, imagined a small device that hooked onto the back of a pair of shoes and held the bottoms of a pair of pants off the ground. The idea remained at the back of his mind for about six months, and then Wells decided he might be on to something.
