I wear size 9 shoes, and use big bulbous army surplus Korean boots (good to -20F) or double boots for showsnoeing. Never tried women's snowshoes though. I like the MSR Denalis. Don't know about Q-factor but if I could hike mountains in 13x23 flat wooden snowshoes, I obviously learned to compensate.
Oil is good, grease is better.
