Why do my shoes squeek?

Why do my shoes squeek (seems to be the back bit). Why does the squeek move from left to right shoe daily (and sometimes both or none). AND.. is it contagious? My shoes started squeeking (about year old) and then my friend in the office, his (oldish) shoes started squeeking as well!

Update:

They are leather shoes (incl. sole) but have rubber heels. It seems to be the leather backs that are squeeking. (they are men's shoes). It will go away? They are not new shoes.

Update 2:

Thanks Goldlee, I hope your shoes catch it!!!

    The rubber on the bottom is getting smoothed out which means there's less friction on the sole. Your show slides more on the ground but still has enough friction to make a noise (*Squeek*) since its rubber. It should go away after a while.

    Hey, I've been there. Finally found out it was the inside of the shoe, not the bottoms. I put in some shoe powder with some new insoles and "NO MORE SQUEAKING"

    It's the rubber.
