In one example, an article including a composite soft substrate defining an outer edge of the substrate, wherein the composite soft substrate includes a soft substrate portion, and a reinforcement insert partially surrounded by the soft substrate portion and extending through the soft substrate portion adjacent the outer edge of the substrate, wherein the reinforcement insert forms a portion of the outer edge of the composite substrate, wherein the reinforcement member increases resistance to compression of the composite substrate at the location of the reinforcement insert compared to the soft substrate portion, and wherein the reinforcement insert defines an aperture extending through the composite substrate adjacent the outer edge of the composite substrate. The article further includes a hard coating on an outer surface of the composite soft substrate.
