Empreintes is feminine because it is a noun derived from the Old French past participle "empreinte" (feminine form of "empraint"), which came from Latin "impressa" (feminine past participle of "imprimere", meaning to impress or imprint). In French, nouns derived from feminine past participles typically retain feminine gender.
