Alright, let me break down what I'm talking about, and why I'm asking. In minecraft, while experimenting with extremely high enchantment levels on armor, I've discovered something strange. I have a pair of diamond boots with the following enchantments:
Protection 32767,
Fire resistance 32767,
Blast resistance 32767,
projectile protection 32767,
unbreaking 32767,
thorns 32767,
and feather falling 32767.
Now, having unbreaking 32767 would suggest that the boots would probably never break in my lifetime, but for some reason that isn't the case. After just an hour of going about regular minecraft activities, I've noticed that I've lost over 75% of the boots' durability. Two things I've noticed that take more durability than I'd expect: Explosions, and standing in lava both visibly drain the durability at a surprising rate. Why am I able to lose durability if I have unbreaking 32767?

The way armor works in MineCraft has changed quite a bit since this question was last answered. This is an overview of how armor works in version 1.6.
A player has a total of 20 Defence Points (represented by the little "chestplate" icons above the health bar, where one point is half a chestplate). Each defence point reduces the amount of damage you take by 4%, but only for certain damage types. So, all 20 defence points filled up will reduce the amount of damage you take by 80%.
The type of armor (Diamond, Iron, Gold, or Leather) determines how many defence points are filled up, as well as the durability of the armor (how many hits it takes before the armor breaks).
You can also enchant armor, allowing it to absorb more damage, or even last longer before breaking.
More details (and if it changes in the future, a more up to date answer) can usually be found on the wiki:
The symbols in the enchanting table have no relation to the actual enchant it yields; they are randomized.
You can translate them, however. The symbols are from Commander Keen's Standard Galactic Alphabet:
Again, though, the sentences and phrases are meaningless. Your enchants are random (well, sort of, as of Minecraft 1.8). Good luck.

Best Answer
is incorrect.
How Durability works:
Therefore, no matter how high your Durability level is, the percentage of losing one durability point must be over 60%. Specifically, with Unbreaking 32767, the chance to reduce one durability point is approximately 60.0012207%.
Just for reference, Fire Resistance, Blast Resistance, Projectile Protection and Feather Falling will not affect durability point loss.
As mentioned by SpiceWeasel in his comment, using the
{Unbreakable:1}tag when summoning an item will make that piece of gear completely immune to damage. Refer to the NBT tags page for more information.
