IE8 issue with Twitter Bootstrap 3

You got your CSS from CDN (bootstrapcdn.com) respond.js only works for local files. So try your website on IE8 with a local copy of bootstrap.css. Or read: CDN/X-Domain Setup

Update:

Please read: http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#support

In addition, Internet Explorer 8 requires the use of respond.js to enable media query support.

For this reason the basic template contains these lines in the head section:

<!-- HTML5 shim and Respond.js IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>

<![endif]-->
