Were you on wet rocks? I think there are few different kinds of crampons, with different capabilities in those kind of situations. Just have to run through the creek!

Crampons for ice climbing, definitely not running anywhere in those but you can sort of fast walk if you skip the rocks poking above the water and just walk on the pebbles a couple inches down. That eventually happened when I started trusting how waterproof the boots were.
