IE8 supports the unprefixed version of box-sizing, but as with all "new" CSS features it only does so in standards mode. -ms-box-sizing has never been used by any version of IE.
Make sure your page has a doctype declaration to trigger standards mode in browsers. You should also place your unprefixed box-sizing after all the prefixes, not before them, and get rid of -ms-box-sizing as it's really not needed.
If you are using min-width or min-height as well, box-sizing will be stuck as "content-box" in IE8 (Standards mode), i.e. specifying border-box will have no effect.
IE8+ supports box-sizing.
Support:
Opera 8.5+ : box-sizing
Firefox 1+ : -moz-box-sizing (still prefixed, though some are pushing to have it unprefixed for [Firefox 29][2]).
Safari 3 : -webkit-box-sizing (unprefixed in modern versions)
IE8+ : box-sizing
box-sizing supports IE8+
you can see here
You are missing box-sizing: border-box; -
*{
box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
}
IE Does not require vendor specific CSS -ms-box-sizing: border-box; is not needed
