A footwear assembly having an upper configured to receive a foot and a sole assembly integrally connected to the upper. The sole assembly includes an outsole and a midsole coupled between the upper and the outsole. The sole assembly also includes a footwear insert coupled to the midsole having anisotropic and anti-puncture properties so as to provide protection, support, and stability to the foot of a wearer of the footwear assembly while still allowing for flexibility. The footwear insert is formed from a soft, dorsal layer having woven fabric, a hard, plantar layer formed from a fiber reinforced composite material bonded to the dorsal layer, and an interfacing polymer layer interposed between the dorsal and plantar layers and used to bond the two layers together. The layered arrangement has a high resistance to bending in a first direction and a low resistance to bending in an opposing second direction.

A stake pocket chain tie-down for a trailer or truck bed which is insertable into a stake pocket through an uppermost opening of the stake pocket. The stake pocket tie-down provides for connection of a load restraining chain to the trailer or truck bed. The stake pocket tie-down comprises an insert that is made of metal and dimensioned to fit securely within the interior of the stake pocket, and the insert has four sides and is closed by an end plate on at least one end. The end plate has a hole therethrough for passage of a chain. The insert has a pin and a hook or tab structure therein for the attachment of the end of the chain.
