In one example, an article including a soft substrate defining at least one of a first outer perimeter of the substrate or an aperture extending through the soft substrate defining a second outer perimeter of the aperture; a hard coating on the outer surface of the soft substrate; and at least one reinforcement member extending through the soft substrate at a location adjacent to at least one of the first outer perimeter or the second outer perimeter, wherein the at least one reinforcement member increases resistance to compression of the soft substrate at the location of the at least one reinforcement member.
