Just so I understand, is MTO at Alden or EG just choosing style etc, or can they adjust sizing too?
MTO at EG lets you pick a style, leather, last, etc. They'll even let you adjust individual details, like broguing and toe medallions. I'm not sure how much customization is possible under Alden's program. I didn't really ask for anything particularly minute.
Hah! Not at all...I like the idea of the single sole.
Let's face it: the Alden longwing is a monster of shoe. I rather doubt it would suffer much if one went from a double to a single sole, unless one's shoe size was large, in which case they might begin to look out of balance.
Does Alden reconfirm details with you before it enters production?

Unfortunately, the whole thing is kind of hazy. They took down what I wanted on the phone and charged my card. I didn't receive any written confirmation or receipt. Now that I think of it, the whole thing sounds a little murky. They asked me not to call for updates and said they'll let me know when the order comes in. Oh well, I really want these shoes.
