'sneaks' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'overturn digits' is the wordplay.
'overturn' becomes 'tip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'digits' becomes 'toes' (toe is a kind of digit).
'tip'+'toes'='TIPTOES'

(Another definition for tiptoes that I've seen is " Creeps".)
