I am a big Birkenstock/Footprints fan.  I am a female and do want to find a pair of oxford that are comfortable to walk with for a good length of time.  With all the female fashion in shoes, it's just not easy to find a pair of women's shoes that have enough room in the toebox.  These shoes are supposed to be men's shoes but I gave it a try anyway.  Love them!!  They are so comfortable and I can literally walk all day with them on.  And I don't think they look ugly on my feet either(I am more comfort driven than fashion driven when it comes to shoes).  Highly recommend to anyone.
