Open Question: Can I use regular timberland boots for hiking?

I have a pair of timberlands that are not specifically made for hiking, but they're boots nonetheless. In a few weeks, I'm going on a camping/ backpacking trip for about 5 days. Would these boots suffice? I really don't want to invest in a new pair of boots for this one trip.
