Non-slip compression socks for runners with weak ankles: VANTAGE MAX

VANTAGE MAX Sports Compression Non-Slip Socks are ankle-compression athletic socks reportedly developed with the director of a manual therapy center. A writer with a weak left ankle wore the white size S for gym PT sessions and a 1-hour run while walking the dog, felt almost no sideways ankle wobble, and found that the full non-slip sole kept the foot from sliding even on a treadmill. Verdict: VANTAGE MAX socks are worth keeping one or two pairs in rotation for runners with unstable ankles or anyone doing long-distance runs.

Cheongju salmon restaurant, dry-ice flying soba: Suamgol Salmon Gotgan

Suamgol Salmon Gotgan (수암골 연어곳간) is a salmon restaurant on the first floor of LK Triplex Building B in Bokdae-dong, near Jiwell City in Cheongju. On a weekday visit with a friend around 5 p.m., the order at Suamgol Salmon Gotgan was a salmon rice bowl styled after the Suamgol mural village and the signature flying salmon soba, and the underground garage gave 2 hours of free parking. For salmon lovers, the flying salmon soba at Suamgol Salmon Gotgan, served with swirling dry-ice smoke, is a fun summer dish worth ordering.

Cheongju pot rice restaurant, rib vs abalone at 11am: Sorori Sotbap

Sorori Sotbap Culture Factory Branch is a pot rice (sotbap) restaurant on the 1st floor of Wonder Aria, next to MMCA Cheongju. The writer arrived with her mom at the 11am Friday opening and ordered one rib pot rice and one abalone pot rice to share, refilling squid jeotgal (salted squid) and broth at the self-serve station. Ordering one of each makes Sorori Sotbap a good place to compare the rich rib pot rice against the lighter abalone version.
