Tin duck starts with Silver Chipper winter footwear (8)
I believe the answer is:
snowshoe
'winter footwear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'tin duck starts with silver chipper' is the wordplay.
'tin' becomes 'Sn' (Sn is the chemical symbol for tin).
'duck' becomes 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket).
'starts' indicates taking the first letters.
'chipper' becomes 'hoe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The first letters of 'with silver' is 'ws'.
'sn'+'o'+'ws'+'hoe'='SNOWSHOE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snowshoe that I've seen before include "Arctic footwear" , "Polar footwear" , "Aid to Arctic walking" , "Winter walking attachment" , "Winter footwear" .)
