From other comments and exercises I've seen, wouldn't it then be "veste sapato preto"? So still singular, but without explicitly specifying 'um'?
Or are you saying that 'um sapato' (not just sapato) means 'a pair of shoes'?

My native Portuguese speaker girlfriend says this sentence is simply wrong. For shoes you shouldn't use "veste", but should instead use "calça". In English this sentence would sound like "The man dresses black shoes".
