Although I do not own these boots, I can pretty confidently say, no. The boots are intended for day hiking, and although they appear to be high-end hiking boots, I think they lack the support that such an extended trip would demand. I would suggest looking in the Backpacking Boots category. The trade of here is weight and support. Hiking boots are much lighter, but have much less support, so will not hold up or support your feet and ankles well when carrying a big load for extended trips. It looks like the La Sportiva Trango Trek GTX might be a good choice for that purpose.
