1. A composite article comprising:
a lattice structure formed by additive manufacturing methods and including a plurality of members that form an open-mesh frame defining a plurality of voids between adjacent members of the frame;
an elastomeric section formed of an elastomer disposed at least partially about the lattice structure and disposed within internal voids of the lattice structure; and
a body monolithically formed with the lattice structure, a portion of the body extending from the lattice structure, the portion of the body disposed outside of the elastomeric section.
