Do the Speedsters have the same heel cup feel and fit as the La Sportiva - Testarossas? They appear to be the same. Unfortunately, the Testarossa heel is too big a pocket for my heel. Even with smashed toes i still have a "squishy" heel and can't set solid heel hooks.

it is a different heel. Think the muira heel only the rubber part in the back is not exposed (which on the muira means that heel hooking on smaller edges can peel the rubber away from the heel) I myself tried out a pair of testarossas and found the heel to be saggy. I own the muira vs, solution and speedsters and the speedster heel is the best of them. So, if your heel fits comfortably into the muira heel you should absolutely love the speedster. Just for reference I am a 11 street shoe and I size all of my sportivas at 41 (8.5) and it seems to be the best fit for me.
