Not sure I fully understand the question, as I've never seen a buckle for shoelaces. That said, he can fix almost anything on a shoe that's worth fixing, and if it's not worth fixing, he won't jerk you around about it, he'll tell you up front. He might even have a better, more durable option than the rivet...
That guy can just about fix anything pertaining to shoes & boots
