Wedge Platform Shoes

Besides high-heeled platforms what are best shoes for a Carnival samba performance?Are wedges ok?
I am currently practising in trainers but maybe due to perform very soon and obviously trainers would not look tooo great in a samba costume! Normal ballroom/latin dance shoes have a thin sole so they are uncomfortable as its all danced with the weight on the front of the foot.I have no time to order platform shoes from US so seeking next best thing!
yeah, if you want to clunk clunk clunk around all night. get some stelletos *spell check*.
